ger of a collision or the distance to the  
vehicle ahead is too small.  
Increase distance.  
Flashing: acute warning of the imminent dan‐  
ger of a collision when the vehicle approaches  
another vehicle at a relatively high differential  
speed.  
Several of the lights are checked for proper  
functioning and light up temporarily when the  
engine is started or the ignition is switched on.

Speed limit detection  
Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the  
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently  
detected speed limit. The camera in the area of  
the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs  
at the edge of the road as well as variable over‐  
head sign posts. Traffic signs with extra sym‐  
bols for wet road conditions, etc. are also de‐  
tected and compared with the vehicle's  
onboard data, such as for the rain sensor, and  
will be displayed depending on the situation.
