Speed limit warning

P5-1519-Road Sign Information, 90 km/h symbol

The 1 symbol in the instrument panel will flash when the maximum speed is exceeded. The maximum speed is determined by the current speed limit plus any additional margin, which can be selected in the center display under settings.

Speed Warning alerts the driver if the vehicle's speed has exceeded the current speed limit or 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) under the speed limit and then exceeds it again or the vehicle enters a new area with a speed limit.

Note

For an audible alert to be provided if the speed is exceeded, the Speed Limit Warning function must be activated and the Road Sign Audio Warning 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

Vehicles equipped with Road Sign Information and map data2 can provide information on upcoming speed cameras in the instrument panel3.

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.

Note

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 Road Sign Audio Warning function is deactivated.
