Speed Limit Recognition; Principles - PEUGEOT traveller Handbook

Speed limit recognition

This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly
when you change country, the units for
speed in the instrument panel must be
those for the country you are driving in.

Principles

Depending on equipment, the
system takes account of speed limit
information from the navigation system
mapping.
Depending on equipment, using a camera at
the top of the windscreen, this system detects
and reads speed limit and end of speed limit
signs.
Depending on equipment, the system takes
account of the camera and information from the
navigation system mapping.
The automatic reading of road signs is a
driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the
road always take priority over the
display by the system.
The system cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed
of the vehicle to suit the weather and
traffic.
It is possible for the system to not
display the speed limit if it does not
detect a speed limit sign within a preset
period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention
on road signs.
To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front
of the camera.
For the speed limit information given
by the navigation system to be correct,
your mapping software must be
regularly updated.
