Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL)
*
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) helps the
driver adapt the vehicle's maximum speed to the
posted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL) function can be switched
to Automatic Speed Limiter.
Where applicable, ASL uses speed information
from the Road Sign Information
*
system to auto-
matically adapt the vehicle's maximum speed.
WARNING
•
ASL is a supplemental aid to the driver
and does not function in all driving situa-
tions or in all traffic, weather or road con-
ditions. It can never replace the driver’s
attention to traffic conditions or his/her
responsibility for operating the vehicle in
a safe manner.
•
Even if the driver clearly sees a speed
limit sign, the speed information from
Road Sign Information to ASL may not be
correct. The driver must adapt the vehi-
cle's speed accordingly.
