Applies to: vehicles with camera-based speed limit display
Speed limit signs appear in the instrument cluster display to keep you informed of current driving restrictions. In cases where the system is able to detect temporary speed limits applicable at certain times of day, in wet weather or to vehicles towing a trailer, etc., it will also display these traffic restrictions Fig. 1.
General notes
The speed limit display can detect standardised speed limit signs within the camera's range of vision. It makes use of the navigation data to evaluate the detected speed limits and show them on the display. General speed limits (e.g. national speed limits for built-up areas) are also displayed for the particular country you are driving in.
The speed limit display is not available in all countries. For a current list, see the Internet (e.g. www.audi.com). The system is also subject to certain inherent restrictions and may be partially or completely unavailable in the following situations:
  • If visibility is impaired by snow, rain, fog or heavy road spray.
  • In dazzling light, e.g. from the sun or oncoming traffic.
  • At high speeds.
  • If the camera's range of vision Fig. 2 is impaired, e.g. by dirt or stickers. Notes on cleaning ►Link.
  • If the traffic signs are partially or completely obscured, e.g. by trees, snow, mud or other vehicles.
  • If traffic signs are damaged or bent.
  • If matrix traffic signs are mounted on overhead gantries.
  • If traffic signs or routes have changed (navigation data out of date).
WARNING!
Always direct your full attention to the road and surroundings, even when you are using the speed limit display. The actual traffic signs on your route always take precedence over the information displayed in the instrument cluster. It is always the driver's responsibility to assess the traffic situation and take appropriate care.
  • Under adverse conditions, the speed limit display may misinterpret or fail to detect traffic signs. It is therefore possible that the speed limit display may occasionally be unavailable or even incorrect.
  • The speed limit display does not warn you if you exceed the speed limit and does not alter the speed of your vehicle to obey the speed limit.
