Speed warning system
Introduction
The speed warning system helps you to stay
under a specified maximum speed.
The speed warning system warns you if you
are exceeding the maximum speed that you
have set . You will hear a warning tone when
your speed exceeds the stored value by ap-
proximately 3 mph (3 km/h) . An indicator
light . (USA models)/ . (Canada mode ls) in
the instrumen t cluster display also t urns on at
the same time . The indicator light
a;m
turns off when the speed decreases below the
stored maximum speed.
Sett ing a th reshold is recommended if yo u
wou ld like to be reminded when you reach a
certain maximum speed. Situations where you
may want to do so include driving in a country
with a general speed li mit or if there is a
specif ied maximum speed for winter tires.
