Automatic speed limiter
*
The automatic speed limiter (Automatic Speed
Limiter - ASL) function helps the driver to adapt
the car's maximum speed to the speed shown
on the road signs.
The speed limiter function (Speed Limiter — SL)
can be changed to automatic speed limiter.
The automatic speed limiter uses speed informa-
tion from the Road Sign Information
3 function to
automatically adapt the car's maximum speed.
WARNING
The automatic speed limiter function is an aid,
and does not work in all driving situations,
traffic, weather and road conditions. The driver
always bears responsibility for maintaining the
correct distance and speed, as well as when
the automatic speed limiter is being used.
Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-rela-
ted road sign, the speed from the Road sign
information function many be incorrect - in
such cases the driver must intervene him/
herself and accelerate or brake to a suitable
speed.
See also the heading "Limitations for Road
sign information".

Limitations of ASL
Automatic speed limitation takes place using
speed information from the RSI
3
function - not
from the speed limit road signs that the car
passes.
If RSI
3
cannot interpret and provide speed infor-
mation to the ASL, then the ASL is set in standby
mode and changes over to SL. In such cases the
driver must intervene and brake to a suitable
speed.
The ASL will be reactivated when the RSI 3 func-
tion can once again interpret and provide speed
information to the ASL.

Information".
