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

  1. "CAR"
  2. "Settings"
  3. "Driver Assistance"
  4.  If necessary, "Driving"
  5. "Speed Limit Assistance"
  6. "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, by pressing the "LIM" button on the steering wheel, you can manually adopt a suggested speed. To deactivate the Speed Limit Assistant in your BMW, the "LIM" button on the steering wheel again.

 

 

To set the speed adjustment perform steps 1 through 5 and then select the desired setting:
