How do I activate, deactivate, and adjust the Speed Limit Assistant in my BMW with BMW Operating System 8 or BMW Operating System 8.5?

Perform the following in the iDrive menu to switch the Speed Limit Assistant on or off:

 

  1. Apps menu
  2. "Vehicle"
  3. "Driving settings"
  4. "Driver Assistance"
  5. "Driving"
  6. "Speed Limit Assistance"
  7. "Speed limits"

Select the desired setting:

  • "Adjust manually": detected speed limits can be applied manually.
  • "Show anticipation": Depending on the national-market version: current and upcoming speed limits are displayed in the instrument cluster without being applied.
  • "Show current limit": current speed limits are displayed without being applied in the instrument cluster.
  • "Off": depending on the national-market version, Speed Limit Info and Speed Limit Assistant will be turned off.

 

Alternatively, you can press the "SET" button on the steering wheel to apply a detected speed limit as a new set speed. The indicator light lights up green as soon as the Speed Limit Assistant is activated, and the speed is detected. To deactivate the Speed Limit Assistant in your BMW, press the "SET" button on the steering wheel again. 

 

Please note: The Speed Limit Assistant is automatically deactivated if you turn off the engine, activate Active Cruise Control or activate certain drive modes via the Driving Dynamics Control.

 

To set the speed adjustment select follow steps 1 through 6 and then select the desired setting:

  • "Adjust speed limits": set tolerance for the speed adaptation that affects all speeds.
  • "2nd adjust. up to": activate or deactivate additional speed adaptation.
  • "Adjust speed limits": With additional speed adjustment activated, set the tolerance for speed limits up to 40 mph/60 km/h.
