Alarm indicator
The alarm indicator shows alarm system (p. 171) status.
Same LED as lock indicator (p. 150).
A red LED on the instrument panel indicates the alarm system's status:
• LED not lit – Alarm not armed
• The LED flashes once every other second – Alarm is armed
• The LED flashes rapidly after disarmingthe alarm (and until the remote controlkey is inserted in the ignition switch andkey position
I is selected) – Alarm has
been triggered.
Alarm - automatic re-arming
Automatic re-arming of the alarm (p. 171) pre- vents the car being left with the alarm dis-armed unintentionally. If the car is unlocked with the remote control key (and the alarm is disarmed) but none ofthe doors or the tailgate is opened within 2minutes, then the alarm is automatically re-armed. The car is relocked at the same time.

Alarm - remote control key not working
If the alarm (p. 171) cannot be deactivated with the remote control key, e.g. if the key'sbattery (p. 158) is discharged - the car can beunlocked, disarmed and the engine started asfollows:
1. Open the driver's door with the detacha-
ble key blade (p. 162).
> The alarm is triggered, the alarm indi-cator (p. 172) flashes rapidly and the siren sounds.
2. Insert the remote control key in the igni- tion switch.
> The alarm is deactivated and the alarmindicator goes out.
3. Start the engine.

Road Sign Information (RSI)*
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed.
Examples of readable speed related signs 2
.
The RSI function gives information on current speed, e.g. that a motorway or road is star-ting/ending and when overtaking is prohibi-ted. If both a sign for motorway/road for motor- ised traffic and a sign showing the maximumpermitted speed are passed, RSI decides toshow the sign symbol for maximum permittedspeed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is designed merely as a supplementary aid. The driver always bears ultimate responsi- bility for ensuring that the vehicle is drivensafely and that applicable road traffic rulesand regulations are followed.

Road sign information (RSI)* - operation
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed. The function is operated as follows
Recorded speed information 3
.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an imposed speed, the combined instrumentpanel displays the sign as a symbol.
Together with the symbol forthe current speed limit, asign showing that overtakingis prohibited may also bedisplayed where appropriate.

End of restriction or motorwayA corresponding road sign is shown in the combined instrument panel forapprox. 10 seconds in situations where RSIdetects a sign that involves the end of aspeed limit - or other speed-related informa-tion, e.g. end of a motorway. Examples of such signs are:
End of all restrictions.
End of motorway. Following which, the sign information is hid- den until the next speed-related sign isdetected.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs3
.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos- ted for the same road - an additional signthen indicates the circumstances under whichthe different speeds apply. The road sectionmay be particularly susceptible to accidentsin rain and/or fog, for example. An additional sign relating to rain is displayed only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
The speed applicable on anexit is indicated in certainmarkets by means of anadditional sign containing anarrow. Speed signs linked to this
type of additional sign are displayed only if the driver is using the direction indicator.
Some speeds are applicable only after e.g. a specific distance or at a certain time of day.The driver's attention is drawn to the situationby means of a symbol for an additional signunder the symbol showing speed.
Display of additional information
A symbol for additional sign in the form of an empty frame under the combined instrumentpanel's speed symbol means that the RSI hasdetected an additional sign with supplemen-tary information for the current speed limit.
Setting in MY CARThere are options for RSI in the MY CAR
menu system; see MY CAR (p. 103).

Speed warning
The driver can opt to receive a warning when the applicable speed limit is exceeded by5 km/h or more. This warning is given by thesymbol showing the applicable maximumspeed temporarily flashing when this speed is exceeded. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system

Road sign information (RSI)* - limitations
The road sign information function (RSI – Road Sign Information) helps the driver toremember which speed-related road signs thecar has passed. The function has the follow-ing limitations. The RSI function's camera sensor has limita- tions just like the human eye - read moreabout camera sensor limitations (p. 220)). Signs which indirectly provide information on a prevailing speed limit, e.g. name signs fortowns/districts, are not recorded by the RSIfunction. Here are several examples of what can dis- rupt the function:
• Faded signs
• Signs positioned on bends
• Rotated or damaged signs
• Concealed or poorly positioned signs
• Signs completely or partly covered with frost, snow and/or dirt.

A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter.
Switch on and activateWhen the speed limiter is active, its symbol(6) is shown in combination with a mark (5) bythe set maximum speed in the combinedinstrument panel. Selection and storage of the highest possible speed in the memory can be made both dur-ing a journey and while stationary.
While driving1.
Press the steering wheel button to
switch on the speed limiter.
> The symbol (6) for speed limiter illumi- nates in the combined instrument panel.
2. When the car is moving at the desired highest possible speed: Press one of the steering wheel buttons
or until the
combined instrument panel shows a mark (5) by the desired maximum speed.
> The speed limiter is then active and the selected max. speed is stored in the memory.

A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding a pre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. To change the stored speed: •
Adjust with short presses on
or -
every press gives +/- 5 km/h. The last presses made are stored in the memory.
To adjust +/- 1 km/h: • Hold the button depressed and release when the combined instrument panelshows a mark (5) by the desired maxi-mum speed.

Temporary deactivation - standby modeTo temporarily deactivate the speed limiterand set it in standby mode:
–Press .
> The mark (5) in the combined instru- ment panel changes colour from GREEN to WHITE and the driver cantemporarily exceed the set maximumspeed. The speed limiter is reactivated with one press on
. The mark (5) then
changes colour from WHITE to GREEN and the car's maximum speed is lim-ited once again.
Temporary deactivation with the accelerator pedal
The speed limiter can also be set in standby mode with the accelerator pedal, e.g. for rap-idly accelerating the car out of a situation:

–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The combined instrument panel shows
the stored maximum speed with a col- oured mark (5) and the driver can tem-porarily exceed the set maximumspeed - the mark (5) changes colourduring this time from GREEN toWHITE. The speed limiter is automatically reac- tivated after the release of the acceler-ator pedal and the car's speed isslowed down to below the selected/stored maximum speed - the display'smark (5) changes colour from WHITEto GREEN and the car's maximumspeed is again limited.

Speed limiter* - alarm for speed exceeded
A (Speed Limiter) can be regarded as a reverse cruise control - the driver regulatesthe speed using the accelerator pedal but isprevented from accidentally exceeding apre-selected/set speed by the speed limiter. On a steep downhill gradient the speed limit- er's engine braking effect may be inadequateand the selected maximum speed is excee-ded. The driver is alerted about this with anacoustic signal. The signal is active until the driver has slowed to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds if the speed has been exceeded by at least3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the
last half minute.

–Press the steering wheel button .
> The combined instrument panel's sym- bol for the speed limiter (6) and the mark for the set speed (5) are extin-guished. The selected and storedspeed are thus deleted from the mem-ory and cannot be resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator pedal to choose a speed without limi-tation.
