Driver support
The Speed Limiter function (SLSpeed Limiter) can be changed to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).
The automatic speed limiter uses speed information from the Road Sign InformationRoad Sign Information – RSI function to automatically adapt the car's maximum speed.
Warning
- The ASL function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- 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.
- ASL is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
