Speed limit detection
The concept
Speed limit detection
Speed limit detection shows the current maxi‐
mum permitted speed in the instrument clus‐
ter. The camera in the area of the interior mir‐
ror detects traffic signs at the edge of the road
as well as variable overhead sign posts. Traffic
signs with extra symbols for wet road condi‐
tions, etc. are also detected and compared
with the vehicle's onboard data, such as for the
rain sensor, and will be displayed depending
on the situation. The system takes into ac‐
count the information stored in the navigation
system and also displays speed limits present
on routes without signs.
Information WARNING

personal responsibility to correctly assess visi‐
bility and traffic situation. There is risk of an ac‐
