The

helps
you
to keep your
driving
speed below a set speed limit.

speed
warning
system
The
speed warning system warns the driver if he exceeds a previously
stored
maximum
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
=>
fig.
21.
The speed warning system has
two
warning
thresholds
that function
independently of each other and that
have
somewhat different
purposes:
Speed
warning
1
""
/
(Canada
models)
You can use speed warning 1 to set the maximum speed wh ile 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
(
I
(Canada models)
in
the warning 1
display 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
deleted.

Speed
warning

I
(Canada
models)
Storing war ning 2 is recommended if you always want to
be
reminded
of a certain speed, for example when you are traveling in a country
that has a
general maxim um speed
limit,
or if you do
not
want to
exceed a specified speed for winter tires.
The
speed warning 2 symbo l,
/
(Canada models) appears
in
the
display when you exceed the stored speed lim it. Unlike warning 1, it
will not go out until the vehicle speed drops
below
the stored speed
limit.
