Speed warning going off inappropriately

I have the speed warnings increased by 5 mph for the low speeds and 10 mph for the over 40's and it keeps warning me below the speed limit. I just pulled onto a 40 mph street at about 5-10 mph and it warned me I was speeding. And while going 20 in a 25 zone.

Anyone else having this problem?

Haha I discovered that one on my first day of ownership. At the dealer and going through the things in that section I thought it meant to warn you at 5-10MPH OVER the speed limit. Turns out one of those settings is a simple "absolute speed" warning. So if you were like me and set it to 5MPH, it will start warning you anytime you are over 5MPH period. Make sense? You will find it as you look through those settings. It's meant to be set at like... 100MPH or something.

I know what you are saying, but on the screens I am referring to there is a slider which only goes to 10 above or below the target speed. It's called speed limit adjustment or something. I did see a screen where you could put it numbers directly, but can't find it now.

I found the page- yeah, it is confusing. Set it to 80.

Haha ok yeah I just went and took photos to show you. Glad you found it. It's in a slightly different section that also has those same "over" the speed limits warning sliders.
