Speed limiter system
You can set a speed limit if you want to drive without exceeding a specific speed.
If you drive faster than the set limit, the warning system activates (the set limit flashes and the buzzer sounds) until the speed returns within the set limit.
NOTE When the speed limiter is operating, the cruise control cannot be activated.
