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. ◀

Switch position
: the low beams are
switched on and off automatically, e.g., in tun‐

indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights
up.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams always stay on when the fog
lamps are switched on.
Personal responsibility
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal judg‐
ment in determining when the lamps should be
switched on in response to ambient lighting
conditions.
For example, the sensors are unable to detect
fog or hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions. ◀

High-beam Assistant The concept
When the low beams are switched on, this sys‐
tem automatically switches the high beams on
and off. The procedure is controlled by a sensor
on the front of the interior rearview mirror. The
assistant ensures that the high beams are
switched on whenever the traffic situation al‐
lows. The driver can intervene at any time and
switch the high beams on and off as usual.
