4.1.4 Speed limit warning

Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. The navigation 
system is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not be available 
for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all roads on the map. 
The maximum speed set in the vehicle pro

fi

 le is also used for this warning. The navigation 

system alerts you if you exceed the preset value even if the legal speed limit is higher.
Speed warning can be 

fi

 ne-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 60). 

You can set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning. 
The following alert types are available: 

•  Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the 

given percentage. 

•  Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for 

example:  ). 

You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.

 c information in route planning 

The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Of

fl

 ine statistical traf

fi

 c 

information (historical speed information or traf

fi

 c patterns) can be taken into account in the 

route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists. 
In addition, real-time traf

fi

 c information can help you avoid current traf

fi

 c events like temporary 

road closures or a traf

fi

 c jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data 

availability. 
You can display the historical traf

fi

 c information on the map if you browse the map and select 

this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored by the 
density of the traf

fi

 c in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the 

screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.

If statistical traf

fi

 c information is stored with the map data, the navigation system can take them 

into account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual 
traf

fi

 c jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays 

that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Traf

fi

 c 

settings (page 62). 
You can display statistical traf

fi

 c information on the map if you browse the map and select this 

option from the More menu.
