Hi I drive a 23 plate superb and in the last month or so suddenly I get new warnings that were not there before. Does anybody know how to turn them off?

When travelling on the motorway I now get the 'increase following distance' warning so you have to back off from the car in front. Which you have to do constantly as someone always moves into the space you just made. REALLY ANNOYING!!

The second is 'please reduce speed' when you get over 80mph. None of these happened before but they do now and I find them really intrusive, it's my car and I should be able to drive how I want. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm this sounds like the new nanny state speed limiter requirements.

 

I suspect you can disable in vcds etc but might now invalidate insurance etc should the worse happen.

 

Easy way to turn them off, don’t drive up people’s arses and obey speed limits 😁

It's probably related to this new nanny legislation.

Have these 'New Safety Features' that are compulsory in the EU and Northern Ireland from the 7th July but not yet on the rest of the UK being received on cars built last year via Over the Air Updates.

eg The OP,s car that did not operate that way in the past.

I’m not entirely sure but i believe the system was there but not activated until 7th July

There are new cars sitting in dealerships that had to be activated before going out for the 7th July.   So the software was already in the system. When it went during production someone might know.
