You are responsible for controlling your vehicle at all times. The system is designed to be an aid and does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING:
In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance.

The system is designed to detect speed limit signs to inform you of the current speed limit. Detected speed signs appear in the instrument cluster display.

Speed sign data provided by the navigation system contains information integrated to the data carrier release.
