WHAT IS SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
Speed sign recognition detects speed limit signs to inform you of the current speed limit. Detected speed signs appear in the instrument cluster display.
HOW DOES SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION WORK
Speed sign recognition uses a sensor behind the interior mirror to detect speed signs.
If your vehicle has speed sign recognition with navigation, stored speed sign data may influence the indicated speed limit value.
