WARNING
The ASL function is supplementary driversupport 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".
Is SL or ASL active?
The symbols in the instrument panel indicatewhich Speed Limiter function is active:

in the driver display even if RSI19 is notactivated.
To remove road sign information from thedriver display, you must deactivate bothAutomatic Speed Limiter and RSI.
When the Automatic Speed Limiter func-tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, nowarnings are given from RSI. RSI mustalso be activated for warnings to be pos-sible.

–Tap the Speed Sign Assist button in Func-tion view.
>ASL will be deactivated, the indicator lightin the button will be GRAY and SL will beactivated instead.

Changing Automatic Speed Limitertolerance
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) can be setto different tolerance levels.
It is also possible to allow the vehicle to driveabove or below the posted speed limit. For exam-ple, if the vehicle is following a current postedspeed limit of 70 km/h (43 mph), the driver caninstead allow the vehicle to maintain a speed of75 km/h (47 mph).
Function buttons and symbols20.
–Tap the (1) button on the steeringwheel keypad until 70 km/h (43 mph) hasbeen changed to 75 km/h (47 mph) in thecenter of the speedometer (4).
>The vehicle will then use the selected tol-erance of 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as theposted speed limit the vehicle passes is70 km/h (43 mph).
This tolerance level will be followed untilthe vehicle passes a sign with a lower orhigher speed. The vehicle will then adjustto the new speed limit and the set toler-ance will be deleted from the system'smemory.
If Road Sign Information*21 is activated,the posted speed limit will also be indi-cated by a RED marking on the speedom-eter.
The set tolerance can be adjusted in the sameway as for the Speed Limiter's speed.
NOTE
The highest possible selectable tolerance is+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Automatic Speed Limiter limitations
Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) utilizes the
speed limit information provided by the RSI22
function, not from the speed limit signs that thevehicle passes.
If RSI22 is unable to interpret and provide ASLwith speed information, ASL will go into standbymode and switch over to SL. The driver will thenhave to actively brake to bring the vehicle downto the appropriate speed.
ASL will be reactivated when RSI22 is once againable to interpret and provide speed information toASL.
