Am i missing something - speed limiter on D4?
Jut picked up my new D4 commercial and having done 350 miles in last 24hours my first niggle, unless i'm missing something, is that whilst the vehicle has cruise control it doesn't appear to have the limiter function to stop me going over a set speed!
I spend hours on motorways and the average speed monitoring systems are the bain of my life, my Navara had a limiter, SWMBO's Corsa has a limiter, where is this simple function on my brand new D4?
Cruise doesn't work on the M1 at the best of times, unless driving through the night - the limiter system appears to be simple and and complementary to cruise so please can anyone tell me if i've missed something ?
(Can't see anything in the manual and a search on here seems to be around with the top speed limiter...)2016 D4 Commercial

No limiter that I'm aware of. Definitely not on a D3. And can only assume the D4 is the same.Mark.

Aside from the vehicle top speed limiter there is a second system activated by an ECU under the dash. It's quite a neat system as it allows for any speed (below the top speed limiter) to be selected by the driver and varied on-the-fly as much as you like. It's also quite a safe system, with 2 channels that monitor each other, as well as monitoring the brake switch sensor.

Sounds like something to put the plates of meat on. Well right one anyway.
