BMW 5 Series: Speed Limit Info
Speed Limit Info
Concept
Speed Limit Info shows the current valid maximum
speed in the instrument cluster.
General information
The camera in the area of the interior mirror detects
traffic signs at the edge of the road as well
as variable overhead sign posts.
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.
With the navigation system, the system takes
into account the information stored in the navigation
data and also displays speed limits present
on routes without signs.
Safety information
Warning
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the
driver's personal judgment in assessing visibility
and traffic situation. There is a risk of accident.
Adjust driving style to traffic conditions. Watch
traffic closely and actively intervene where appropriate.
