Speed Limit Info with
overtaking restriction
display
Speed Limit Info
Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently detected
speed limit in the instrument cluster and the
Head-Up Display, as well as valid additional signs
where applicable; for example, wet conditions.
General
The camera in the area of the interior rear-view
mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of the
road as well as variable overhead signs.
Road signs with additional instructions, for exam‐
ple restrictions applicable in wet weather, are
taken into account and correlated with informa‐
tion in the vehicle, such as the windscreen wiper
signal. The road sign and corresponding addi‐
tional signs are then displayed in the instrument
cluster or ignored, depending on the situation.
Some additional signs are taken into account in
the evaluation of the speed limit, but are not dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.
The system considers the information saved in
the navigation system as applicable and also dis‐
plays the speed limits present on unmarked sec‐
tions of road.
Overtaking restriction display
Principle
Overtaking restriction signs and end of restriction
signs that are detected by the camera are indica‐
ted by corresponding symbols in the instrument
cluster.
General
The system only considers no overtaking restric‐
tions and ends of restrictions that are indicated
by means of signs.
Nothing will be displayed in the following situa‐
tions:
▷ In countries in which no overtaking is primarily
shown by road markings.
▷ On routes without signs.
▷ In the case of railway crossings, lane mark‐
ings and other situations which indicate an
overtaking restriction but which are not sign‐
posted to this effect.
Depending on the equipment version, an addi‐
tional symbol with distance information may also
