Intelligent Speed Limiter

The intelligent speed limiter feature (if equipped) allows the diver to set a desired speed that the vehicle cannot exceed during normal driving conditions along with using the current speed limit detected by the traffic sign recognition system to set as a temporary speed limit.

This feature works in combination with the camera-based traffic sign recognition system and the navigation system data (if installed). When the feature is activated, the intelligent speed limiter detects the speed limit and limits the vehicle speed accordingly. An implicit speed limit also applies on freeways after a cancellation sign and the system automatically adopts this limit based on navigation system data if a navigation system installed. If there is no navigation system installed, the speed limiter is interrupted and thus the speed is no longer limited. The speed limit can be exceeded at any time by accelerating strongly.

The speed limit can be overridden without pressing the steering wheel switch. This is done by pressing the accelerator pedal to 90% of travel. The speed limit automatically resumes when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle slows down to below the set speed limit. If the system is not overridden and the set speed limit is exceeded, an audible chime sounds after 20 seconds.

This feature operates exclusive of the cruise control and is not connected to the brakes. Applying the brake pedal does not override or deactivate the intelligent speed limiter feature.
