Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep
your driving speed below a set speed limit.
The speed warning system warns the driver if
he exceeds a previously stored maximum
speed . A warning tone will sound as soon as
the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by
about 3 mph (3 km/h). At the same time, a
warning symbol appears in the display.
The speed warning system has
two warning
thresholds that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
Speed warning 1
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maxi­
mum speed while you are driving . This setting
will remain in effect until you turn off the ign i­
t io n, assuming that you have not changed o r
reset the setting.
The speed warn ing symbol
[i (USA models)/
IDl (Canada models) in the warning 1 display
appears when you exceed the maximum
speed.
It goes out when the speed falls below
the stored maximum speed .
The speed warn ing symbol will also go out if
the speed
exceeds the stored maximum speed
by more than about 25 mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed
is deleted.
Setting speed warning 1
~page 27 .
Speed warning 2
Storing warning 2 is recommended if you al­
ways
want to be rem inded of a certain speed,
for example when you are travel ing in a coun ­
try that has a general maximum speed limit, .,..

or if you do not want to exceed a specified
speed for w inter t ires.
The speed warning 2 symbol,
1mj (USA mod­
e ls)/
laJ (Canada models) appears in the dis­
p lay when you exceed the stored speed lim it.
Unlike war ning 1, it will not go out until the
ve hicle speed drops be low the stored speed
limit.
