The Speed Limiter function (Speed Limiter — SL) can be changed to Automatic Speed Limiter.
The Automatic speed limiter scans roadside speed-related signs and adjusts the car’s maximum speed to conform to that indicated by the signs. It is very similar to the Road Sign Information function (Road Sign Information — RSI).
Warning
Is SL or ASL active?
Symbols in the driver display show which speed limiter function is active:
The ASL symbol
The sign symbol (displayed alongside the stored speed, "70", in the centre of the speedometer) can be shown in three colours with the following meanings:
| Colour of sign symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Greenish yellow | ASL is active |
| Grey | ASL has been set in standby mode |
| Amber/Orange | ASL is in temporary standby mode3 |
Limitations
Adjustment of the Automatic speed limit occurs first after the car has passed a speed limiting road sign. If a road sign cannot be read, due to such factors as an incorrectly angled or dirty sign or reduced visibility, then ASL is set in standby mode and SL becomes active.
In such cases, the driver must take responsibility for slowing down to an appropriate speed. ASL will be reactivated when the car passes a road sign that can be read.
