Driver assistance systems
Vehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific, and optional equipment offered with
the series. It also describes features and func-
tions that are not necessarily available in the
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected options or
country versions. This also applies to safety
functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
Speed Limit Info
Speed Limit Info
Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid
speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if
necessary, the Head-up display.
General information
The camera in the area of the interior mirror
detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as
well as overhead sign posts.
Traffic signs with extra icons are considered
and compared with the vehicle's onboard data.
The traffic sign will then be either displayed
or ignored depending on the situation in the
instrument cluster and the Head-up display.
With the navigation system, the system takes
into account the information stored in the nav-
igation system and also displays speed limits
present on routes without signs.
For Speed Limit Info to function correctly, cur-
rent map data for the country in which the ve-
hicle is operated must be downloaded.
For information on the current map version
and map updates, see Map update in the Nav-
igation system chapter.
Without a navigation system, the system is
subject to limitations imposed by technology.
Traffic signs with speed limitations are de-
tected and displayed only. Speed limits due to
entering towns/cities, highway signs, etc., are
not displayed. Speed limits with extra traffic
signs are always displayed.

ment, and Communication, refer to page 6.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for
the driver’s personal judgment in assessing
the traffic situation. Based on the limits of
the system, it cannot independently react
to all traffic situations. There is a risk of
accident. Adjust driving style to traffic condi-
tions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation
closely, be ready to take over steering and
braking at any time, and actively intervene
where appropriate.
Overview
Sensors
The system is controlled by cameras behind
the windshield.
