limiter
Your vehicle may be factory equipped with
tires that are rated for a maximum speed of
130 mph (210 km/h) . This is less than the
maximum speed of your vehicle. To reduce the
risk of sudden t ire failure and loss of control if
t he vehicle is operated at excessive speeds,
your vehicle also has an electronic speed lim it -
er. The electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from going faster than the tire speed
rating. For more informat ion

warning thresholds that function independ-
ently of each other and that have somewhat
different purposes:

mum speed while you are driving. This setting
will remain in effect until you turn off the ign i-
tion, assuming that you have not changed or
reset the setting.

play 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 2S mph (40 km/h) for at
least 10 seconds. The stored maximum speed
is deleted.
