How do you set the "Speed Limit warning" ?

[baxlobs]

Have a 23 Karoq SE L with the Digital Display, I cannot find  out how to set the Sound and Visual warning that you have exceeded a pre-set limit. It was dead easy in the Maxidot display in our  Yeti.

 

The instructions in the handbook are a) not very clear and b) possibly only refer to the Virtual Cockpit.

 

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Has no one any ideas about this?

I tried this early in my ownership of my Karoq, but quickly found it was a bad idea. (Sorry it was so long ago that I cannot remember where I found the settings in the menu system.)

 

Unfortunately the dynamic speed limit display is not accurate enough and so you get countless false alarms. Road signs can be covered by overgrown bushes etc and not seen by the car. Or it will see signs applying to joining roads and junctions and think they apply to you. And it cannot read signs saying "20 when lights flashing" or "40 for HGVs over xx tonnes" etc correctly. Instead I use the speed limiter control and set the limits myself by flicking the stalk up or down when I see the speed limit signs.

IIRC on our Superb 3, you dial up the warning screen and then press the rh wheel control  to access, dial the value you want and then press the rh control again to set.

This is not relevant I'm afraid. It is a simple warning that I could set on the Yeti, such that if the car exceeded x mph, a beep would sound and a warning flash up saying Speed in excess of x, which remained until you slowed below that speed. We found it a useful thing to keep within limits without being fixated on the Speedo.

It was quite independent of the Cruise Control, and did not rely on any external signals.

I cannot find anything like it in the Karoq.

With the central display selected to Driving Data e.g speed displayed, if you use the RH scroll wheel, is there not a Warning At in the list of options ?

I will check , thanks.

It was simple on the 2018 SEL. Pull the little switch on top of the LH stalk that activates the cruise control then press the button on the lower side of the stalk to change to limiter and toggle the speed you want.

In my Kodiaq, the alarm I think you’re looking for is set in the Winter Tyres setting.

 

Under CAR settings I think. I’m working from memory. You just tick a box to turn it on. And select a speed of your choice.

 

I use it to remind me I should think about easing off. It’s nothing to do with winter tyres directly.

Thanks, that is somewhere else to look when I have some time to spare "fiddling" in the car.

I think that is a different thing. You can have Cruise Control or Speed Limiter. The latter just stops you going over the limit - I think - but I just want the simple warning that we had on the Yeti, which went "Ping" and popped up a message on the MFD.

Many thanks, that seems to be the answer. I have set it to the speed I want, and we will see tomorrow if it works as hoped.

Thanks to all who have replied. I will post an update afterwards.

'Winter Tyre' alarm speed setting is available in addition to the 'speed warning' that you can set. 

So that is 2 speed warnings available to you. 

 

This is not on a Karoq but that does not matter as all models get 2 settings available.

That looks like the MFD display on my Yeti, the Karoq display is quite different.

@baxlobsI know the Karoq is quite different but the same as in there are 2 different Speed Warnings available to set.

Hi,

Setting the Winter tyres limit worked just fine.😀

I will spend a bit more time looking for the other limit setting that some have suggested exists.
