These speed cameras
work in pairs, and do not measure your current
speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras
. Both
identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use the
difference between the two points in time to calculate your average
speed.
MCD893 warns you when you approach one of these speed cameras
,
but as you pass by, the warning stays on, and your average s
peed is
measured until you reach another speed camera of this type. If your
average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed
cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the other
speed camera types.
In the rare case MCD893 cannot
register the moment you pass the
second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel
where GPS position is not yet available) the warning continues. Just tap
the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning.
