Driving
Qualifier plate detected Display of the
speed associated with the qualifier plate
Speed limit for
vehicles whose gross vehicle
weight or gross
train weight is less than 3.5 tonnes
56 mph (90 km/h)
(for example)
Speed limit in snow Example:
If the exterior
temperature is below 3°C:
19 mph (30
km/h)
(for example)
with a "snowflake" symbol
Speed limit at certain times Example:
19 mph (30 km/h)
(for example)
with a "clock" symbol
The units for the speed limit (mph or km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account so that you
observe the speed limit.
For the system to work correctly when
changing country, the speed unit in the
instrument panel must correspond to that of
the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is a driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated when passing
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation / Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.
It is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
1. Detected speed limit indication
or
2. End of speed limit indication
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detecting speed limit information, the system
displays the value.
In the case of suggested maximum speeds, the
first time the vehicle exceeds the suggested
speed by more than 3 mph (5 km/h) (e.g. 59
mph (95 km/h)), the speed is displayed flashing
for 10 seconds.
Operating limits
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits, especially those imposed in the
following cases:
– atmospheric pollution,
– when towing,
– driving with a space-saver type spare wheel or
snow chains fitted,
– Tyre repaired using the temporary puncture
repair kit,
– young drivers.
It is possible for the system to not display the
speed limit if it does not detect a speed limit
sign within a preset period and in the following
situations:
– road signs that are obstructed, do not comply
with the standard, are damaged or distorted,
– obsolete or incorrect maps.
