WARNING
•The ASL function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Even if the driver can clearly see thespeed limit sign, the speed informationfrom the Road Sign Information (RSI)function to ASL may be incorrect. In suchcases, the driver must intervene andaccelerate or brake to an appropriatespeed.
• ASL is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
• See also the heading "Road Sign Infor-mation limitations".
