The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) reads road
signs and adapts the vehicle's maximum speed
to the posted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter function can be switched to
Automatic Speed Limiter.
Is SL or ASL active?
Symbols in the instrument panel indicate which
function is active:

vated.
✓

ASL symbol
A road sign symbol (next to the stored
speed in the center of the speedome-
ter) can be displayed in three different
colors as explained in the following
table:
Road sign
symbol's color
Explanation
Green/yellow ASL is active
Gray ASL is in standby mode
Amber/orange ASL is temporarily in standby
mode (e.g., because a speed
limit sign could not be read)
Limitations
Adjusting a set speed is done first when the vehi-
cle passes a speed limit sign. If a speed limit sign
cannot be read (e.g., because it is twisted, dam-
aged, faded, dirty, covered by snow, etc.) ASL will
go into standby mode because the system will
not have "seen" the speed posted on the sign
(SL will activate). The driver will have to react and
adapt the vehicle's speed. ASL will reactivate
when the vehicle passes a speed limit sign that
the system can read.
