130) The system only detects preset traffic

signs if the minimum visibility conditions

and distance from the sign are met.

131) The system is an aid for driving and

does not relieve the driver of responsibility

for driving the car. Always respect the

highway code of the country you are

driving in.

132) When the system is active, the driver

is responsible for controlling the car and

monitoring the system, and must be ready

to intervene as appropriate if necessary.

(where provided)

The system can be used to set a

speed limit equal to that indicated on

the road sign detected by the “Traffic

Sign Recognition” system (see the

respective chapter in this section for

more information), indicated to the

driver by means of an indication on the

instrument panel.

The maximum speed can be set both

with car stationary and in motion.

The minimum speed that can be set is

30 km/h.
