W212 - Speed Assist

[everpresent]

Does anyone know if the Speed Assist function on the new E class is standard or only comes as part of the driver assistance package ?

The dealer has suggested to me that this was standard on the Avantgarde but I the option is not available from the Assist menu

Not standard, unless UK options are different from ours.

What is the "Speed Assist Function?"

Oldcro - it uses a camera mounted on the windscreen to recognise speed limit signs and displays these in the central display on the on board computer

Ah! now I understand, up until last October when I bought my W212 it was not an option in the UK. I believe it is still not available as an option here.
