▌ Function of Active Speed Limit Assist
If a changed speed limit is detected and the auto-
matic adoption of speed limits is switched on, this
is automatically adopted as the stored speed
(
/
page 267). Speed limits below 12 mph
(20 km/h) are not accepted.
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 highways 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 80 mph (130 km/h) is adop-
ted.
