Posted Speed Llimit Dash Information
I have a 2018 AMG C63s. I can't find a feature which I hope is included with the dash display features that Mercedes provides. On my previous Porsche the posted speed limit was displayed in the digital dash information. I can't find this feature on my Mercedes. How do I turn this on? I hope its there as its a very useful feature. I'm having to use my Waze phone app to see this information.

In my 2018 it shows in the head up display. I believe it also shows in the cluster if you have cruise or distronic on. However don't quote me on last part.

Yes the heads-up display on the windshield. I have the tach displayed as a bar graph with my gear selection and current speed, but no posted speed limit icon showing up in the heads-up diplay. There is no posted speed limit showing up anywhere, neither in the heads-up display nor in the dash info display area between the gauges.

Below is the info from the owner's manual. You have to be on the right screen, but also your car needs the full COMAND system (built-in navigation). In the 2018, the speed limit display is map based and comes from the navigation database. As described in the owner's manual, it's not recognizing the actual speed limit signs on the side of the road with a camera. Camera based speed limit sign recognition is only available in 2019+ models.

Okay went to my car and took a pic. From the menu in the middle of the instrument cluster: Settings > Head-up Display > Display Content - select the middle one. Otherwise the speed limit will not display. Most likely you have the top selected by your description which may be the default.

Speed Limit Display is part of the Driver Assist Package even in the 2019 models I believe. Also COMAND Multimedia/Nav system is a pre-requisite for ordering the Driver Assist Package in the 2019 IIRC.
In the 2019 (not sure in the pre-FLs), there is still a camera on the windshield behind the rearview mirror which I believe is used for certain safety features but does not help with speed limit recognition (I do not have Driver Assist package).

This is actually present in few parts of the US already (in few big cities, eg. few freeways and bridges near the Seattle area). I however agree that enforcement in the US is not as strict compared to Europe. It varies based on State and city/region as well. I've seen strict cops in Portland and Northern Oregon for example who will give you a ticket for <5 miles over the limit (eg. try going southbound on I-5 to cross the Washington-Oregon border when you enter Portland, OR).

No 997 Driver Assistance Package on my build list (bought the car used.) This must be the factor. Bummer. At least I now know that I don't have to look for a feature that isn't turned on. I guess Waze will be my speed limit info. Thanks for all your help guys.

Amazing that you have to buy a $2000 package to include the speed limit info, something that comes standard with most navigation equipped cars. At least I can get the speed limit information running Waze for free.

This is true of any German luxury/sports car. Lane assist, radar guided cruise control, safety aids, etc. are standard on <$25k cars from Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc. these days but is part of an addon package in the German cars in the luxury/sport segment.
