Road Sign Information and Sensus

Navigation

If the car is equipped with Sensus Navigation

speed information is read from the navigation
unit in the following cases:

•

On detection of signs that indirectly indi-
cate a speed limit, such as motorway, dual
carriageway and city limit signs.

•

If a previously detected speed sign is
assumed not to apply any longer, but no
new sign has been detected.

In certain markets, the Road Sign Informa-
tion function

is only available in combina-

tion with Sensus Navigation

If a downloaded third-party app is used for
navigation then there is no support for
speed-related information.

functions that can warn the driver if a speed
limit has been exceeded or in connection with
speed cameras.

limit in the driver display

Warning for speed limit

The speed warning is given
by the driver display symbol

A speed warning is always given if the speed
limit is exceeded in connection with speed
camera information.

Speed Limit Warning

warns the driver when

the applicable speed limit or stored maximum
speed is exceeded – this warning is repeated
once after approx. 1 minute within the same
speed limit area unless the driver reduces the
speed.

A new warning for exceeding the speed limit,
including a reminder, will be given only when
the car reaches a new/different speed limit
area.

To get an acoustic warning if you exceed
the required speed, the

Speed Limit

Warning

function must be activated and

the

Road Sign Audio Warning

subfunc-

tion must be set to

. An acoustic warn-

ing is then given if the car's speed exceeds
the speed indicated by the Road Sign
Information function in the driver display.

Warning for speed camera

A car equipped with road
sign information and Sensus
Navigation can provide infor-
mation on an upcoming
speed camera in the driver
display

If the car exceeds a detected speed limit with
the

Speed Limit Warning

function activated,

a speed warning is given when the car
approaches a speed camera, provided that the
navigation map for the area in question con-
tains information on speed cameras.

An option is available to receive an acous-
tic warning for speed cameras independ-
ently of the car's speed and exceeded
speed limit, even if the

Road Sign Audio

function is deactivated.

•

Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.

Temporary deactivation of speed

limiter

The speed limiter (SL

) can be temporarily

deactivated and set in standby mode.

The speed limiter can also be temporarily
deactivated and overridden with the accelera-
tor pedal without the speed limiter first having
to be set in standby mode - e.g. to be able to
quickly accelerate the car out of a situation.

In which case, proceed as follows:

1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and

release it to interrupt acceleration when
the desired speed has been reached.
> In this mode, the speed limiter is still

activated and the driver display's sym-
bol is therefore WHITE.

2. Fully release the accelerator pedal when

the temporary acceleration is finished.
> The car is then engine-braked automat-

ically to below the last stored maximum
speed.

Limitations for speed limiter

Speed limiter (SL

) has certain general limi-

tations.

On steep downhill gradients the speed limit-
er’s braking effect may be inadequate and
hence the stored maximum speed may be
exceeded. In this case, the driver is alerted by
the message

Speed limit exceeded

in the

driver display.

A text message that the maximum speed is
exceeded will be activated if the speed has
been exceeded by at least 3 km/h
(approx. 2 mph).

Automatic speed limiter

The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL

) func-

tion helps the driver to adapt the car's maxi-
mum speed to the speed shown on the road
signs.

The Speed Limiter function (SL

) can be

changed to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).

The automatic speed limiter uses speed infor-
mation from the Road Sign Information

(RSI

) function to automatically adapt the

car's maximum speed.

WARNING

Even if the driver clearly sees the speed-

related road sign, the speed information

from the Road Sign Information

(RSI)

function to ASL may be incorrect – in such

cases the driver must intervene him/herself

and accelerate or brake to a suitable speed.

Changing the tolerance for the

automatic speed limiter

The Automatic Speed Limiter function
(ASL

) can be set for different tolerance lev-

els. The tolerance is adjusted in the same way
as the speed setting is in the speed limiter.

If, for example, the car follows a signed speed
limit of 70km/h (43 mph) the driver can
instead choose to allow the car to maintain
75 km/h (47 mph).

Buttons and symbols for the function

–

Press the steering wheel button

(1)

until 70 km/h (43 mph) in the centre of
the speedometer (2) changes to 75 km/h
(47 mph).
> After which, the car uses the selected

tolerance 5 km/h (4 mph) as long as
signs passed are showing 70 km/h
(43 mph).

The tolerance is followed until a road sign with
a lower or higher speed is passed - then the
car follows the new signed speed limit instead
and the tolerance is deleted from the memory.

The maximum selectable tolerance is
+/- 10 km/h (5 mph).

Adaptive cruise control

The adaptive cruise control (ACC

) can help

the driver to maintain a constant speed, com-
bined with a preset time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead.

The camera and radar unit measures the distance to

the vehicle ahead.

An adaptive cruise control can provide a more
relaxing driving experience on long journeys on
motorways and long straight main roads in
smooth traffic flows.

The driver selects the desired speed and a
time interval to the vehicle ahead. If the cam-
era and radar unit detects a slower vehicle in
front of the car, the speed is adapted automat-
ically via the preset time interval to the vehicle.

When the road is clear again the car returns to
the selected speed.

If the cornering support

function is activated,

this may also affect the speed of the car.

The adaptive cruise control aims to:

•

regulate the speed smoothly. In situations
that demand sudden braking the driver
must brake himself/herself. This applies in
cases of large speed differences or if the
vehicle in front brakes suddenly. Due to
the limitations of the radar unit, braking
may come unexpectedly or not at all.

•

follow the vehicle ahead in the same lane
at a time interval set by the driver. If the
radar unit cannot see any vehicle in front
then the car will instead maintain the
speed set and stored by the driver. This
also takes place if the speed of the vehicle
ahead increases and exceeds the stored
speed.

This function can come as either standard or an option depending on the market.
