Speed limit detection
with No Passing Informa‐
tion
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection uses a symbol in the
shape of a traffic sign to display the currently detected speed limit. The camera at the base of
the interior rearview mirror detects traffic signs
at the edge of the road as well as variable over‐
head sign posts. Traffic signs with extra symbols
for wet road conditions, etc. are also detected
and compared with vehicle interior data, such
as for the rain sensor, and are displayed de‐
pending on the situation.
Without a navigation system, the system is sub‐
ject to limitations imposed by technology. Speed limits with extra text characters are al‐
ways displayed.
No Passing Information No Passing Information in the instrument clus‐
ter displays the beginnings and ends of no
passing zones detected by the camera. The sys‐
tem accounts for only the beginnings and ends
of No Passing zones marked by signs.
No display is shown:
▷In countries where No Passing zones are
primarily identified with road markings.▷On routes without signage.▷Where there are railroad crossings, highway
markings or other situations where no sig‐Seite 61DisplaysControls61

nage is present, but passing would not be
permitted.
Hints
Speed limits and no passing zones when towing
a trailer are not shown.
Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic
situation.
The system assists the driver and does not re‐
place the human eye. ◀
