Model Year 24/25 How to turn off the driver speed assist

[Joolstdi]

Hi all
All new cars built after July this year now have driver speed assist, which is really annoying as if you go over the speed that’s displayed on the instrument cluster the car pings all the time and flashes the speed indicator. How do you turn it off on the new formentor?

not permanently at all, according to my information at the moment. For everything else, read the instructions

Every time you switch car on it needs to be turned off again, but that’s all cars built after July this year.
the sales advisor did not show me to turn it off,

You could trade it in for an older model

Vehicle > assist systems > driver alerts > dynamic road sign display
This is for older formentor.

I just found this

Cupra Formentor Facelift (>2024) Memory Module for Start-Stop and more

Preserve Your Cupra Formentor Start-Stop Setting! With our module, if you manually disable Start-Stop, it remembers your preference and ensures Start-Stop is automatically turned off every time you start your vehicle. Additionally, it retains your last selected drive mode, providing a seamless...

Use with caution. Such modules, if poorly made, can really disrupt the vehicle system. It wouldn't be worth the effort for me at that price.

It just becomes part of the process of starting a modern car...get in, seatbelt on, turn off everything that will interfere with driving, start the engine and go!

So very true.

So very true.

Absolutely right stormy, and takes literally seconds.

I just noticed that OBD eleven has an app for turning the speed assist to memory for the face lift 24> on formentor
so that the car will remember if you turned it off.
has anybody tryd this yet

I'm assuming that the current Formentor is the same as the Leon - pull down from the top of the infotainment screen and it should be there, as well as the lane assist one. If not, you should be able to add it. Otherwise one of the steering wheel buttons (can't remember which one, but it's on the left) gives you a menu, but I find the screen easier.

I did that over the weekend on mine (picked it up last week). Initially it seemed the App failed, but the next day I found the Speed Assist was Off - just as I set it the day before!

How do you tell if your car is SFD2? According to the ODB11 site the current unit doesn't work on SFD2 - so how do you tell? Don't want to drop money on this to turn it off and it not be able to do anything.

pre-Facelift -> SFD
Facelift -> SFD2

I have just found out that my series one life time OBD eleven dongle is not compatible with the latest 25 onwards cupra so I have bought the latest version 3 with the 20% discount, so when its delivered I will report back to see if it works.
The app uses 200 credits to work but as I have nearly 5000 ( I have seen a load of clips over the years to build it up) shame they don't put that back
so I'm just waiting for my delivery
cheers

OBDeleven can't support coding of SFD2 protected control units currently. Hopefully it will scan.

 

[CupForm]

Hopefully it will scan.

It does scan.
The OBD11 I had for a couple of years, besides the fact that it managed to change the Speed-Warning on a 2025 Formentor (as I posted above), was able to scan and clear errors. As any respectable Formentor, mine was delivered from factory with more than 20 errors onboard.
