Vehicle features and options Speed Limit Info

This chapter describes model-specific equip-

ment, systems, and functions that are currently

available, or may become available in the fu-

ture, even if they are not present in the vehicle.

Principle

Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid

speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if

necessary, the Head-up display.

Additional information:

Vehicle equipment, refer to page 8.

General information

The camera in the area of the interior mirror

detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as

well as overhead sign posts.

Speed warning

Principle

The speed warning can be used to set a speed

limit. A warning will be issued when this speed

limit is exceeded.

Traffic signs with extra icons are considered

and compared with the vehicle's onboard data.

The traffic sign will then be either displayed

or ignored depending on the situation in the

instrument cluster and the Head-up display.

General information

The system may also show speed limits that

apply to routes that are not signposted if the

navigation system has current map data.

Another speed warning is given when the set

speed limit is exceeded again after it has drop-

ped by 3 mph/5 km/h.

For Speed Limit Info to function correctly, cur-

rent map data for the country in which the ve-

hicle is operated must be downloaded.

Settings

The Speed Limit Warning can be activated or

deactivated. In addition, the speed limit for the

warning can be configured.

For information on the current map version

and map updates, see Map update in the Nav-

igation system chapter.

Apps menu

Without map data, the system is subject to

certain technical limitations. Traffic signs with

speed limitations are detected and displayed

only. Speed limits due to entering towns/cities,

highway signs, etc., are not displayed. Speed

limits with extra traffic signs are always dis-

played.

Warning signals

Depending on the settings, an acoustic signal

sounds if the detected speed limit is exceeded

or the speed limit changes. The display also

ment, and Communication, refer to page 6.

Safety information

Warning

The system cannot serve as a substitute for

the driver’s personal judgment in assessing

the traffic situation. Based on the limits of

the system, it cannot independently react to

all traffic situations. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust

driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the

surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready

to take over steering and braking at any time,

and actively intervene where appropriate.

CONTROLS

If a vehicle is driving ahead of you, the system

adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the set

distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained.

The speed is adjusted as far as the given sit-

uation allows.

▷

On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,

turn the front wheels in the direction of

the curb.

On uphill grades or on downhill slopes,

also secure the vehicle, for instance with

a wheel chock.

The distance can be adjusted at several levels.

For safety reasons, it depends on the respec-

tive speed.

Warning

If the vehicle ahead of you brakes to a stand-

still and then drives off again within a brief pe-

riod, the system is able to detect this within the

given system limits.

The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted or

called up by mistake. There is a risk of acci-

dent, injury, and property damage. Adjust the

Driver assistance systems

CONTROLS

Merging vehicles

When you approach a curve the system may

briefly report vehicles in the next lane due

to the bend of the curve. If the system decel-

erates you may compensate for it by briefly

accelerating. After releasing the accelerator

pedal the system is reactivated and controls

speed independently.

If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly

merges into your lane, the system may not be

able to automatically restore the selected dis-

tance. It may not be possible to restore the se-

lected distance in certain situations, including if

you are driving significantly faster than vehicles

driving ahead of you, for instance when rapidly

approaching a truck. When a vehicle driving

ahead of you is reliably detected, the system

requests that the driver intervene by braking

and making an evasive maneuver, if needed.

Driving off

In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off

automatically; for example:

▷

On steep uphill grades.

In front of bumps in the road.

With a heavy trailer.

Cornering

In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.

Weather

The following restrictions can occur under un-

favorable weather or light conditions:

▷

Poorer vehicle detection.

Short-term interruptions for vehicles that

are already recognized.

When the set speed is too high for a curve,

the speed is reduced slightly. Because curves

may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a

curve at an appropriate speed.

Drive attentively, and react to the current sur-

rounding traffic situation. If necessary, inter-

vene actively, for instance by braking, steering

or making an evasive maneuver.

The system has a limited detection range. Sit-

uations can arise in tight curves where a vehi-

cle driving ahead will not be detected or will be

detected very late.
