Introduction
The speed warning function can help you keep below a pre-set maximum speed.
The speed warning function will warn you if the vehicle exceeds the pre-set maximum speed. The system gives an audible warning signal if the set speed is exceeded by about 3 km/h. A warning symbol will also appear in the display . On some models the symbol may look slightly different.
The speed warning function has two different warning speeds, which operate independently and serve slightly different purposes:
Speed limit warning 1
With speed limit warning 1, the maximum speed can be changed while driving. The speed limit that has been set remains stored until the ignition is switched off, or until it is changed or cleared.

The symbol also goes out if the speed is increased to more than about 40 km/h above the set speed for at least 10 seconds. This cancels the speed limit that was originally set.

Speed limit warning 2
You are recommended to store this speed limit warning if you always wish to be reminded of a particular speed limit. This could be when driving in countries with general speed limits, or if you need to keep below a particular speed when winter tyres are fitted, etc.
