Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Settings

Setting features

Speed limit

With the engine on, select or deselect 'Vehicle settings → Speed limit' from the Settings menu to set whether or not to use each function.

• If 'Speed limit assist' is selected, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will inform the driver of speed limit and additional road signs. In addition, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will inform the driver to change set speed of Manual Speed Limit Assist or Smart Cruise Control to help the driver stay within the speed limit.
•  If 'Speed limit warning' is selected, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will inform the driver of speed limit and additional road signs. In addition, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will warn the driver when the vehicle is driven faster than the speed limit.
• If 'Off' is selected, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will turn off.

CAUTION

If 'Speed limit warning' is selected, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will not inform the driver to adjust set speed.

Speed Limit Offset

With the Engine Start/Stop button in the ON position, when 'Driver assistance → Speed limit → Speed limit tolerance' is selected, the Speed limit tolerance can be changed. Speed Limit Warning and Speed Limit Assist will operate by applying the Speed limit tolerance setting to the detected speed limit.

WARNING

• For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.
• Speed Limit Assist function operates based on the Speed limit tolerance setting added to the speed limit. If you want to change the set speed according to the speed limit, adjust the offset to '0'.
• Speed Limit Warning function warns the driver when driving speed exceeds the speed at which the set Speed limit tolerance is added to speed limit. If you want Speed limit warning to warn you immediately when the driving speed exceeds the speed limit, adjust the offset to '0'.
• Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) function does not reflect Speed Limit Tolerance set-up.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Operation

Warning and control

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist will warn and control the vehicle by 'Displaying speed limit', 'Warning overspeed' and 'Changing set speed'.

Information

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist warning and control are described based on the Offset adjust to '0'. For details on Offset setting, refer to the "Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Settings".

Displaying speed limit

Speed limit information is displayed on the instrument cluster.

Information

• If speed limit information of the road cannot be recognized, '---' sign will be displayed. Please refer to "Limitations of Intelligent Speed Limit Assist " if the road signs are difficult to recognize.
• Supplementary sign displayed under the speed limit or overtaking restriction sign means the conditions under which the signs must be followed. If supplementary sign is not recognized, it will be displayed as blank.
• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist provides additional road sign information in addition to speed limit. The additional road sign information provided may vary according to your country.

Warning overspeed

When driving at a speed higher than the displayed speed limit, the speed limit is displayed in red.

Changing set speed

If the speed limit of the road changes during the operation of Manual Speed Limit Assist or Smart Cruise Control, an arrow in the direction of up or down is displayed to inform the driver that the set speed needs to be changed. At this time, the driver can change the set speed according to the speed limit by using the + or - switch on the steering wheel.

WARNING

• If the Speed limit tolerance is set over '0', the set speed will change to a higher speed than the speed limit of the road. If you want to drive below the speed limit, set the Speed limit tolerance under '0' or use the - switch on the steering wheel to lower the set speed.
• Even after changing the set speed according to the speed limit of the road, the vehicle can still be driven over the speed limit. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce your driving speed.
• If the speed limit of the road is under 20 mph (30 km/h), the set speed change function will not work.
• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist operates using the speed unit in the instrument cluster set by the driver.

  If the speed unit is set to a unit other than the speed unit used in your country, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist may not operate properly.

Information

• For more details on Manual Speed Limit Assist operation, refer to "Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA)" section in chapter 7.
