Driving
In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the
first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested
speed by more than 3 mph (5 km/h) (e.g. 59
mph (95 km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing
for 10 seconds.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
– Atmospheric pollution.
– Towing.
– Driving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted.
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit.
– Young drivers.
The system may not display the speed limit if it
does not detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period and in the following situations:
– Road signs that are obstructed, non-standard,
damaged or bent.
– Obsolete or incorrect maps.
Recommendation
In addition to Speed Limit Recognition and
Recommendation , the driver can select the
speed displayed as a speed setting for the speed
limiter or cruise control using the speed limiter or
cruise control memorisation button.
If rain is detected, the system will propose to the
driver a speed setting lower than the speed read/
obtained from the mapping in order to adapt to
the weather conditions (example: on a motorway,
the proposed speed will be 68 mph (110 km/h)
instead of 81 mph (130 km/h).
For more information on the Speed
limiter , Cruise control or Adaptive
cruise control , refer to the corresponding
sections.

The speed limiter/cruise control information is
displayed.
Upon detecting a sign suggesting a new speed
setting, the system displays the value and
" MEM " flashes for a few seconds, prompting you
to save it as the new speed setting.
If there is a difference of less than 6 mph
(9 km/h) between the speed setting and
the speed displayed by the Speed Limit
Recognition and Recommendation, the
" MEM " symbol is not displayed.
Depending on the road conditions, several
speeds may be displayed.
► Press button 2once to save the suggested
speed value.
A message is displayed to confirm the request.
► Press button 2again to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
The display then reverts to its previous state.
Extended Traffic Sign

use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
This additional system recognises these road
signs and displays them in the instrument panel
if the appropriate display mode is selected.
One-way street: if you start driving the wrong
way down a one-way street, an alert message,
including the sign's symbol, is displayed in the
instrument panel (request to check the traffic
direction).
Other signs: when approaching one of these
signs, the sign’s symbol is displayed in the
instrument panel.
