System limits
Personal judgment
The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic situation.
The system assists the driver and does not replace the human eye.
The system may not be fully functional and may provide incorrect information in the following situations:
▷ In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
▷ When signs are concealed by objects.
▷ When driving very close to the vehicle in front of you.
▷ When driving toward bright lights.
▷ When the windshield behind the interior rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or covered by a sticker, etc.
▷ In the event of incorrect detection by the camera.
▷ If the speed limits stored in the navigation system are incorrect.
▷ In areas not covered by the navigation system.
▷ When roads differ from the navigation, e.g.
due to changes in the road network.
▷ When passing buses or trucks with a speed sticker.
▷ If the traffic signs are non-conforming.
▷ During the calibration process of the camera immediately after vehicle shipment.
