Warning for speed limitation and speed camera from road sign information
(Option/accessory)
Warning for speed limit
The speed warning is given by the driver display symbol (Road signs are customized for each market – the one shown here is just an example) flashing when the speed limit is exceeded by 5 km/h (3 mph).The warning is repeated once after approx. 30 seconds if the speed has not been reduced. New warnings will then be given if the speed has been reduced within 5 km/h (3 mph) of the speed limit. A new warning may also be given if the car drives into another speed limit area. A speed warning is always given if the speed limit is exceeded in connection with speed camera information. (Information on speed cameras on the navigation map is not available for all markets/areas)
Warning for speed camera
A car equipped with Road Sign Information and map data (Information on speed cameras on the navigation map is not available for all markets/area) can provide information on an upcoming speed camera in the driver display.
The speed camera information function will be available at a later time.

Display mode for road sign information
(Option/accessory)
The function is available in certain markets.
Example (Road signs are market-dependent – the illustrations in these instructions only show examples) of detected speed information. When the function detects a road sign with an imposed speed limit, the driver display shows the sign as a symbol If the car is equipped with map data, speed-related information is also obtained from map data, (Option/accessory) which means that the driver display can show or change information on the speed limit without having passed a speed-related sign.
Speed limit or end of the motorway
When the function detects an “indirect speed limit sign” stating the end of the current speed limit – e.g. at the end of a motorway – a symbol appears with the corresponding road sign in the driver’s display. If the car is equipped with map data, (Option/accessory) direct speed limit signs are normally displayed – indirect speed limit signs are only displayed if map data has no information on the speed limit for the road section in question Example of indirect speed limit sign:
Changed speed limit
When passing a direct speed limit sign when a speed limit changes a symbol with the corresponding road sign appears in the driver’s display.
Example of direct speed limit sign. The driver display’s symbol is extinguished shortly after and is re-illuminated when you next drive past a speed-related sign. If the car is equipped with map data, (Option/accessory) speed limit signs are shown in the driver display when map data contains information on the speed limit for the road section in question, even if no direct sign has been passed. If map data has no information, the sign is extinguished after a while.
Additional signs
Some speed limits only apply after a certain distance or at a certain time of day. The driver’s attention is drawn to this fact by means of a symbol for an additional sign below the speed symbol.
