Adjustable Speed Limiter (Some Models)
The adjustable speed limiter is a function to prevent the vehicle from being driven at a vehicle speed faster than a set speed. The vehicle speed is controlled to kept it below the set speed even if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The adjustable speed limiter can be set between 30 km/h (20 mph) and 200 km/h (125 mph).
The vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when the vehicle is driven on a down slope, however, the system notifies the driver by flashing the display and operating a warning sound.
Always turn off the system when changing drivers:
If the driver is changed and the new driver is unaware of the adjustable speed limiter function, the vehicle may not accelerate when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal, leading to an accident.
The system consists of the adjustable speed limiter display in the instrument cluster and the speed limiter switch on the steering wheel.

Adjustable Speed Limiter Warning
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 km/h (2 mph) or more, a warning sound operates continuously and the adjustable speed limiter display flashes at the same time. The warning sound operates and the display flashes until the vehicle speed decreases to the set speed or less.
Verify the safety of the surrounding area and adjust the vehicle speed by applying the brakes. Additionally, keep a safer distance from the vehicles behind you.
If the set speed is set lower than the current vehicle speed by pressing the SET or RESUME switch, the warning beep is not activated for about 30 seconds even if
the vehicle speed is faster than the newly set speed by 3 km/h (2 mph). Be careful
not to drive over the set speed

When the system is temporarily cancelled by depressing the accelerator pedal fully and the adjustable speed limiter display indicates the cancellation at the same time, a cancel warning beep is heard once. If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed by about 3 km/h (2 mph) or more while the cancel display is displayed, the set speed display flashes but the warning sound is not operated.
