Automatic speed limiter*

Updated 08/06/2023

The Automatic Speed Limiter function (Automatic Speed Limiter — ASL) sets the car’s maximum speed to conform to that indicated by road signs.

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

Even if the driver can clearly see the speed-related traffic sign, the camera's readings may be inaccurate because the sign may be incorrectly angled, positioned, dirty or too high - in such cases the driver must intervene and accelerate or brake to the appropriate speed.

Is SL or ASL active?

Symbols in the driver display show which speed limiter function is active:

Symbol	SL	ASL
1	✓	✓
Sign symbol2 after "70" = ASL is activated.		✓

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.
