Speed limit display

[AndrewRL]

Apologies if already asked but I can't find anything...

Car is Formentor VZ2 310...

The digital display shows road signs and a speed limit. I understand that the speed limit is picked up from signs or the sat nav. The speed limit is then also shown as a red mark.on the speedo.

Issue is that this regularly shows what appears to be km/h limits (45, 90, 110) rather than mph (which is the vehicle/info setting). This is not all the time (maybe 15% of the time).

Is there another setting somewhere I have missed? Is anyyone else having this issue?

I think this is just a “quirk” that needs to be resolved still. I had it on my test drive, just registers the Km/h for a few seconds then corrects to mph. Some guys on here have had it and some don’t believe it’s showing the km/h equivalent and rather it’s showing random mph, but
So anyway, no I don’t think you’ve missed anything in settings.

Read last few pages of System Error thread. It was also widely discussed in another thread, which title had nothing to do with it, so difficult to find.

It's a bug. I am really surprised they can't solve it, it sounds relatively simple to determine the car is in a mph country and to adapt the software.

From my understanding, when the car does not have proper navigation data it can fall through to default which is kph and LHD. So in those cases you'll see the car unwilling to overtake cars in slow lane as it thinks you are undertaking in a LHD country.

It looks like the issue here is navigation based then? Would that account for the same problems with ACC? If the root issue is GPS surely its the Nav that needs an update and not the kit that the ACC/dashboard uses.

I can give you example, how the same part of the road can show correct and wrong speed, depending where you join. Let say, I drive on M25 from Junction 5 to Junction 7. I have proper speed limits in mph. But if I join at Junction 6 and drive to Junction 7, there's no sign on the slip road or car can't see and it's showing 110. So I'm driving on the same part of M25 as in other example, but don't have proper speed displayed.

Do you think you could get away with it if you got caught speeding? (Which, of course, I would never do!)

"Sorry officer, my intelligent safety system was showing 110 limit!"

Thanks all for the replies. Not a major issue I guess but a bit "irritating". Will file in the "quirk" drawer!
If it is something to do with the sat nav there are more fundamental issues to worry about. Will do a search before posting those!

You need to report it to your dealer so they can apply the fix once Cupra have found one! It’s connected to the ACC issue.

The vehicle still thinks it is in Barcelona!

For what it is worth, from what I can tell on You Tube reviews and Journo's moaning on Twitter, most of these Formentor issues appear to be common place across the latest VAG offerings with this "latest style" of display / interface - e.g. Leons, Octavias & Golfs - lets hope VAG get a decent fix out sharpish, because it's doing their reputation as a whole no good at all!

Only had my VZ2 for a day and it is sometimes displaying the wrong speed signs 110, 90 and 45 and puts the red marks in the mph speedo at those points.

More worrying is I was trying out adaptive cruise (I think) doing about 55mph on a dual carriage way when the dash displayed a full screen message that a 70 sign had been seen and proceed to apply the brakes until the speed dropped to 44, luckily nobody was behind me.

Wrong sign is annoying but applying the brakes incorrectly is a serious safety issue. Now just need to work out which setting to switch off.

You can disable this "slow down for signs" ability of ACC. It's there in the settings, you'll find it. There is one more setting you might want to disable, it's to adapt the speed depending on the road ahead. In theory it should slow down if there is a strong bend ahead but in my case it got confused one time and started braking on a straight bit of road.

Thx, all disabled now.
