Function of Active Speed Limit Assist
If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more
is detected and automatic adoption of speed lim-
its is activated, the new speed limit is automati-
cally adopted as the stored speed (
/
page 280).
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the driver's display is always updated when the
vehicle is level with the traffic sign.
If you are driving on German motorways and there
is no speed limit, the system uses the speed
stored for a stretch of road with no speed limit as
the set speed. If you do not alter the stored speed
on a stretch of road with no speed limit, the rec-
ommended speed of 130 km/h is adopted.
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
the road condition and current weather and traffic
conditions into account. Adjust your speed
accordingly, when necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise
dangers (

page 263).
System limits
The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to
the detection of traffic signs (
/
page 291).
Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatically
adopted by the system as the stored speed. Tem-
porary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time
or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly
detected by the system. The maximum permissi-
ble speed applying to a vehicle with a trailer is not
detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations.
