Speed warning system
Overview
The speed warning system helps you to keep
your driving speed below a set speed limit.
Fi g. 22 Display: speed warning system
The speed warning system warns the drive r if
he exceeds a previo usly stored max imum
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
q fig. 22.
The speed warning system has two warning
t hr es hol ds
that function independently of
each other and that have somewhat different
purposes:
' 8/8 ( Canad a model s) Sp eed warn ing 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 igni­
tion, assuming that you have not changed or reset the setting.
The speed warning symbol
Ci] ; [i (Canada
models) in the warning 1 disp lay appears
when you exceed the maximum speed.
It goes
out when the speed falls below the stored
maximum speed .
The speed warning 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 de leted.
