Speed Limit Info

Speed Limit Info

Principle
Speed Limit Info shows the currently valid speed limit in the instrument cluster and, if necessary, the Head-up Display.

General information
The camera in the area of the interior mirror detects traffic signs at the edge of the road as well as overhead signposts.
Traffic signs with extra symbols are considered and compared with the vehicle’s onboard data. The traffic sign will then be either displayed or ignored depending on the situation in the instrument cluster and the Head-up display.
The navigation system, system takes into account the information stored in the navigation system and also displays speed limits present on routes without signs.
Information on the current map version can be found under Map update in the Navigation system chapter.
Without a navigation system, the system is subject to limitations imposed by technology.

Traffic signs with speed limitations are detected and displayed only. Speed limits due to entering towns/cities, highway signs, etc., are not displayed. Speed limits with extra traffic signs are always displayed.
Speed limits for trailer towing will be displayed when the trailer power socket is occupied or trailer towing was activated via iDrive.

Safety information

Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of an accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.

System limits

Detection range

The detection capability of the system and the automatic braking performance are limited.
For instance, two-wheeled vehicles may not be detected.

Deceleration
The system does not decelerate in the following situations:

• For pedestrians or similarly slow-moving road users.
• Depending on the vehicle equipment and national availability, for red traffic lights.
• For cross traffic.
• For oncoming traffic.

Merging vehicles

If a vehicle driving ahead of you suddenly merges into your lane, the system may not be able to automatically restore the selected distance. It may not be possible to restore the selected distance in certain situations, including if you are driving significantly faster than vehicles driving ahead of you, for instance when rapidly approaching a truck. When a vehicle driving ahead of you is reliably detected, the system requests that the driver intervene by braking and carrying out evasive maneuvers, if needed.

Cornering

When the set speed is too high for a curve, the speed is reduced slightly. Because curves may not be anticipated in advance, drive into a curve at an appropriate speed.
The system has a limited detection range. Situations can arise in tight curves where a vehicle driving ahead will not be detected or will be detected very late.

When you approach a curve the system may briefly report vehicles in the next lane due
to the bend of the curve. If the system decelerates you may compensate for it by briefly accelerating. After releasing the accelerator pedal the system is reactivated and controls speed independently.

Driving off
In some situations, the vehicle cannot drive off automatically; for example:

• On steep uphill grades.
• In front of bumps in the road.
• With a heavy trailer.
  In these cases, step on the accelerator pedal.

Weather
The following restrictions can occur under unfavorable weather or light conditions:

• Poorer vehicle detection.
• Short-term interruptions for vehicles that are already recognized.

Drive attentively, and react to the current surrounding traffic situation. If necessary, intervene actively, for instance by braking, steering or evading.

Drive power
The set speed is also maintained downhill. The speed may not be maintained on uphill grades if the drive power is insufficient.
Depending on the driving mode, the vehicle may exceed or drop below the set desired speed in some situations; for instance, on downhill or uphill grades.

Speed Limit Assistant

Principle
Speed Limit Assistant supports driving at the speed limit. A suggested speed can be ap-plied.

General information
When the systems in the vehicle, e.g., Speed Limit Info, detect a change of the speed limit, this new speed value can be applied for the following systems:

• Manual Speed Limiter.
• Cruise control.
• Active Cruise Control with Stop &Go function.

The speed value is suggested as the new de-sired speed to be applied. To apply the speed value, the corresponding system must be activated.

Safety information 

Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver’s personal judgment in assessing the traffic situation. Based on the limits of the system, it cannot independently react to all traffic situations. There is a risk of accident. Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch the surrounding traffic situation closely, be ready to take over steering and braking at any time, and actively intervene where appropriate.

Warning
The set speed can be incorrectly adjusted or called up by mistake. There is a risk of accident. Adjust the set speed to the traffic conditions. Watch surrounding traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.

Side protection

Principle
The side Park Distance Control is automatically displayed when the automatic camera perspective is turned on. The function shows obstacles located next to the vehicle.

Display

To protect the sides of the vehicle, obstacle markings are displayed on the sides of the vehicle.

• No marks: no obstacles were detected.
• Color marks: warning against detected obstacles.

Limits of the side protection
The system only displays stationary obstacles that were previously detected by sensors while passing them.
The system does not detect whether an obstacle moves later on. For this reason, at stand-still, the marks are not shown anymore in the display after a certain time. The area next to the vehicle must be newly captured.

Door opening angle

Principle
If obstacle marking is activated, the Surround View indicates fixed obstacles that obstruct the opening angles of the doors.
The system does not provide a warning of approaching road users.

Display

The maximum opening angle of the doors is displayed in selector lever position P. As soon as the vehicle begins moving, the opening an-gles are replaced by parking aid lines.

Limits of the display
The vehicle’s surroundings are distorted in the display for technical reasons.
Even if the icons for the door opening angles do not cross other objects on the Control Display, the following needs to be noted when parking next to other objects:
Because of the perspective, higher, protruding objects may be closer than they appear on the Control Display.

Detection of objects
Very low obstacles as well as high, protruding objects such as ledges may not be detected by the system.
Some assistance functions also take into consideration data from the Park Distance Control. Follow the notes in the Park Distance Control chapter.
The objects displayed on the Control Display may be closer than they appear. Do not estimate the distance from the objects on the dis-play.

Malfunction
A camera failure is displayed on the Control Display.

A yellow icon is displayed and the detection range of the malfunctioning camera is displayed in black on the Control Display.

Panorama View

Principle

Panorama View gives you an earlier view of crossing traffic at blind driveway exits and intersections.

General information
Road users concealed by obstacles to the left and right of the vehicle can only be detected relatively late from the driver’s seat. The cam-eras in the front and rear capture the side areas around the vehicle to improve the view.
Yellow lines in the screen display mark the front and rear end of the vehicle.

The camera image shows different levels of distortion in some areas and is thus not suitable for distance estimations.
Depending on the equipment version, the function can only be used when driving forward.
