SPEED ALERT - MG-Rover.org Forums

I have a new 75 in Australia which comes standard with "driver inteligence pack", trip computer etc. I took the car for a trip up the freeway north of Sydney on the weekend and set the speed alert at 110K/hour which is the speed limit for that road. The alert was not activated untill the speedo registered just under 120K, almost a 10K/hour discrepancy. Has anybody else noticed this and which is correct, the alert or the speedo?

There is a slight delay in the speed limit symbol and chime being sounded by the instrument pack.

To cater for this, perhaps set the limit just a little lower, Alan?

If you do, please let us all know how you get on

Thanks for the advice, good doctor. My driving is mainly city and burbs so it will be some little time before I am back on a freeway and able to test your suggestion.

Alan - I'm sure you will find it will work if you lower the target speed slightly.

Be sure to let us all know how you get on, will ya?
