Speed limiter
"LIMIT"
Steering mounted controls
Principle
"This is the speed that the driver does not want
to exceed".
The speed setting is selected with the engine
running, stationary or when driving. The
minimum speed setting possible is 20 mph
(30 km/h).
The vehicle responds to the accelerator until
resistance is felt in the pedal, which signifies
that the vehicle has reached the limiter speed
setting.
However, the limit speed can be exceeded by
pressing the accelerator pedal beyond the point
of resistance; simply release the accelerator
pedal to return to a speed below the limiter
setting.
Setting and operation of the system can be
done stationary with the engine running or
when driving.
