Speed limit and speed camera warnings from Road Sign Information*
There are sub-functions for Road Sign Information (RSI) that can alert the driver if the speed limit has been exceeded or if there are speed cameras nearby.
This function is available in certain markets.
Example of speed camera and speed limit information in the instrument panel
Speed limit warning
When Speed Warning is activated, the symbol for the current speed limit in the instrument panel will flash temporarily if that speed is exceeded.
The driver can be alerted if the vehicle is exceeding a detected speed limit and is approaching a speed camera.
Speed Warning alerts the driver if the vehicle’s speed has exceeded the stored Speed Limiter speed. The warning will be repeated once after about 30 seconds in that speed limit area if the driver does not slow down.
An additional warning will not be provided unless the vehicle’s speed is reduced by at least 5 km/h(3 mph) and then exceeds the speed limit again or the vehicle enters a new/different speed limit area.
For an audible alert to be provided if the speed is exceeded, the Speed Warning function must be activated and the visible alert for road signs sub-function must be On. Audible alerts are provided if the vehicle’s speed exceeds the speed displayed by Road Sign Information in the instrument panel.
Speed camera warning
Road Sign Information can display information about upcoming speed cameras in the instrument panel.
The speed camera information function will be available at a later time.
If the vehicle exceeds a detected speed limit with the Speed Warning function activated, the driver is given a speed warning when the vehicle is approaching a speed camera if the navigation map for the vehicle’s current location contains information on speed cameras.
It is possible to receive an audible alert for speed cameras regardless of the vehicle’s speed and whether or not the speed limit is exceeded, even if the audible alert for road signs function is deactivated.
