The driven speed is adjusted when
theve hicle is
le ve l with the tra1c sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adap ted according tothe speed permit-
te d within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the driver's display is alw ays updated when the
ve hicle is le vel with the tra1c sign.
If yo u are driving on German mo torw ays and there
is no speed limit, the system uses the speed
stored for a str etch ofroad with no speed limit as
th e set speed. If you do not alter the stored speed
on a str etch ofroad with no speed limit, there c-
ommended speed of 130 km/h is adop ted.
If Ac tive Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode bypressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adop ted.
The maximum permissible speed does not take
th ero ad condition and cur rent we ather and tra1c
conditions into account. Adjust your speed
accordingl y,when necessar y.

When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is acti va-
te d, theve hicle speed will be adap ted accordingly
to thero ute events ahead. Depending on the drive
prog ram selected, theve hicle neg otiates a route
ev ent ahead in an energy-saving, comfor table or
dynamic manner. When thero ute event has been
passed, theve hicle accelerates again tothe
stored speed. The set distance totheve hicle in
front, vehicles de tected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are take n into account.
Ro ute-based speed adap tation can be acti vated in

Tr a1c Sign Assist also uses data from the digital
street map in the navigation system. When you
lea veor enter a municipality or change roads, on
a mo torw ay ex it or slip road fore xamp le, or aTer
yo u turn at a junction, the display in the driver's
display can thus be updated without a tra1c sign
having been de tected.
Depending on vehicle equipment and countr y,the
system can also display speed restrictions ahead
in the driver's display and in the head-up displa y.
The driver's display can also sh owthe distance to
an upcoming lo wer limit speed. Forth is purpose,
information from the digital road map of the navi-
ga tion system is used. The Assistancemenu can also display a dynamic visualisation of
the speed
limits ahead.
If Tra1c Sign Assist cann otdeterm ine the cur-
re ntly applicable maximum permissible speed
(e.g. due tomissing signs), thefo llowing display
appears in the driver's displa y: Tr
a1c Sign Assist is not available in all countries.
If th eve hicle is in a country where Tra1c Sign
Assist is not suppor ted, this is displa yed continu-
