and the automatic adoption of speed limits is
active, it will be automatically adopted as the
stored speed (
/
page 230).
The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is
level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the
case of signs indicating entry into an urban area,
the speed is adapted according to the speed
permitted within the urban area. The speed limit
display in the driver display is always updated
when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign.
If you are driving on German highways and there
is no speed limit, the system uses the speed
stored on an unlimited stretch of road as the
recommended speed. If you do not alter the
stored speed on an unlimited stretch of road, the
recommended speed is 80 mph (130 km/h).
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been
put into passive mode by pressing the accelera‐
tor pedal, only speed limits which are higher
than the set speed are adopted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
the road condition and current weather and traf‐
fic conditions into account. Adjust your speed
accordingly, when necessary.
Observe the notes on driving systems and your
responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recog‐
nize dangers (

System limits
The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to
the detection of traffic signs (
/
page 241).
Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not
automatically adopted by the system as the
stored speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g.
for a certain time or due to weather conditions)
cannot be properly detected by the system. The
maximum permissible speed applying to a vehi‐
cle with a trailer is not detected by the system.
Adjust the speed in these situations.

WARNING Risk of accident due to Active
Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle's
speed
The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit
Assist may be too high or incorrect in some
individual cases, such as:
R
at speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h)
R
in wet conditions or in fog
R
when towing a trailer
#
Ensure that the driven speed complies
with traffic regulations.
#
Adjust the driving speed to suit current
traffic and weather conditions.
Function of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti‐
vated, the vehicle speed will be adapted accord‐
ingly to the route events ahead. Depending on
the drive program selected, the vehicle negoti‐
ates a route event ahead in a fuel-saving, com‐
fortable or dynamic manner. When the route
event has been passed, the vehicle accelerates
again to the stored speed. The set distance to
the vehicle in front, vehicles detected ahead and
speed restrictions ahead are taken into account.
Route-based speed adaptation can be activated
in the multimedia system (

page 230).
The following route events are taken into
account:
