A special camera captures the speed limit posted on signs; a control

Camera provides a bird’s-eye view of the road alongside the doors.
These images, taken by cameras positioned in the exterior mirrors, help
guide you when maneuvering in tight spaces. Side-view Cameras in
the front bumpers show traffic approaching the front of the vehicle from
