SPEED LIMIT: XXX MPH (SPEED LIMIT:

This display will show the speed limit or the advised
speed as determined by the information on the map
disc in the navigation system. If there is no map disc in
the navigation system, this display will not be available.
The speed limit and speed advisory displays on the DIC
are for reference only. There may be segments of road
where speed data has not been captured or times
where incorrect speed data, or no speed data, will be
displayed by the DIC due to the navigation system not
correctly matching the vehicle’s position to the actual
road. Be aware of this and obey posted speed limits
wherever you drive.
SPEED ALERT
This display will allow you to customize the speed alert
warning. You can choose to have no warning display,
or to have it display at the limit, at 5 km/h (mph) over
the limit, or at 10 km/h (mph) over the limit. The DIC
will toggle between OFF, AT LIMIT, +5 , +10 (Km/h or
MPH). Press the reset button to make your selection.
