Speed limit detection*
The concept
Speed limit detection shows the current maxi‐
mum allowable speed in the instrument cluster.
The camera at the base of the interior rearview
mirror monitors traffic signs at the edge of the
road and uses the information from the naviga‐
tion system.
In this way, the allowable speed is displayed
even in the absence of traffic signs, such as
within town limits.
Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment of the traffic situa‐
tion.
Speed limit detection assists the driver and does
not replace the human eye.◀
