Trailer mode  
In vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket and a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle, the display of road signs that  
may apply to the vehicle when towing a trailer, e.g. applicable speed limits and no-overtaking signs, can be activated or deactivated in  
the vehicle settings menu in the Infotainment system.  
In trailer mode, display of the valid speed limits can be adjusted to the type of trailer and to country-specific legal requirements.  
In the Infotainment system:  
1. Open the Assist systems menu.  
2. Tap Trailer detection.  
3. To adapt the warning threshold specifically for trailer mode, tap  
in the Warning when exceeding menu option.  
If the system detects that the maximum permitted speed has been exceeded, it shows this visually on the instrument cluster display by  
a flashing speed limit detected by the system and, depending on setting, also issues an acoustic warning. A warning is issued in two  
warning levels.  
On the instrument cluster display: detected violation of  
maximum permitted speed (illustration).  
Speed warning – Level 1  
Violation of maximum permitted speed detected.  
The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on equipment, in the head-up  
display → Fig. 1.  
Speed warning – Level 2  
Progressive violation of maximum permitted speed detected.  
An acoustic warning sounds. The speed limit detected by the system flashes continuously in the instrument cluster and, depending on  
equipment, in the head-up display → Fig. 1.  
The second warning level is triggered if the speed continues to increase above the speed limit.  
The second warning level is cancelled again when the driver actively slows down.
