What are Speed Limiters?
The system allows you to limit the vehicle's speed to the maximum speed limit detected by the traffic sign recognition system. An intelligent speed limiter uses data from the traffic sign recognition system to set a maximum speed. For example, if the traffic sign recognition system detects an 80 km/h speed limit, the vehicle's speed is limited to 80 km/h.
Adjustable Speed Limiters
The Adjustable Speed Limiter allows the driver to set a maximum speed limit and prevents the driver from accelerating above this speed. If the driver takes their foot off the accelerator, the vehicle will slow down.
The Adjustable Speed Limiter is operated using simple switches mounted on the steering wheel. Once the system is switched on, the maximum speed limit set is clearly displayed in the instrument cluster. The maximum speed can then be increased or decreased by pressing one of two switches, and is also adjustable when moving.
The system also has a built-in override feature, which allows the vehicle to go above the set speed limit if you need to overtake. The software will temporarily disable the speed limit function and then automatically re-engage when the speed reduces back to the set limit. The instrument panel display will also indicate that you are exceeding your set limit.
Intelligent Speed Limiters
The Intelligent Speed Limiter is designed to enhance the Adjustable Speed Limiter. When activated, the system automatically adjusts your maximum speed setting to the speed limit detected by the Traffic Sign Recognition camera.
Note: This may be an optional extra on some models.
Refer to the "Intelligent Speed Limiter" section of your Owner's Manual for information on how to use Speed Limiters.
