Speed limiter?

Anyone know if speed limiter has been included in the spec of the latest FL2?

I find it more useful than cruise control but LR seem to avoid supplying it for some reason??

Richard,
Don't think it has a speed limiter but you can now set an audible warning for a set speed (at least I think you can)

I'm still trying to work out what I can and can't do in the MY 13 having used it for the first time last Tuesday with 120 odd miles on it and again today with 270. Lots of new features and the dash is now very Evoque like.

Like the new touch screen radio, sat nav and telephone controls and new driver info screen. Particularly like the new HDC graphic which shows target speed and actual speed and which gear you're in in Command Shift.

Thanks - that's a good start and the same as in the Evoque I believe?

Seem to miss a trick here though as it must use the same technology as cruise control. Even my baby Nissan has cruise/speed limiter. Fabulous on monotonous journeys to avoid creeping up

You'll have to show me some day!

Cruise control acts just the same, it will keep a set speed until cancelled.
If the FL2 has caught up with the FFRR as mine has an overspeed alarm that can be set to any speed, as soon as you go over that set speed then an alarm sounds and a warning comes up on the drivers display. ______________________

MY13 Freelander is now virtually identical in terms of controls and functionality to the rest of the range. AS I mentioned earlier you can set an audible warning if you go over a set speed as you can in the other vehicles.

Cruise control can allow speeds to exceed the set speed if you are descending a long steep hill and there is still a warning to that effect in the manual.

Still behind in real terms, the Merc cruise control will also hold speed downhill and can be set to not allow you to go over a certain speed, that is driver selectable, that's before you get onto distronic that will also maintain a distance away from the vehicle in front.

Mine doesn't speed up when going downhill, so there must still be a difference between LR systems. ______________________

Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist is available on the new Range Rover and will not only keep you a set distance from the vehicle in front but also stop your vehicle if the one in front stops. There is some pretty good technology coming with the new Range Rover which will in all probability roll out to the other vehicles as they are replaced by new models.

Not quite Dave - A speed limiter caps the maximum speed whereas Cruise control maintains a minimum speed - if you press accelerator it will go faster

So a long drive back on a dual carriageway littered with camera vans...setting the speed limiter is fab....whatever you do with your right foot you know you won't accidentally be above the speed limit (well if you've set the speed limiter correctly)

We have started getting the vehicles at work speced with CC and Limited Speed, on a three position rocker switch, down is CC, middle is off and up is Limited Sped, very good if your on the Controlled Speed on the Motorways, when you cannot hold the speed limit all the time, put you can stop yourself exceeding it, same around town, limit it to 30mph and a lapse in concentration keeps you below the limit. There is an override on the throttle pedal, press it to the floor and you can feel it press a button to allow you to go over the limit, your chosen limit then flashes until you fall to the limit again, you still have the rocker switches on the steering wheel to adjust the speed and to Resume or turn it off, use it more probably than CC.

Maybe off topic but does the MY13 have an option to show which gear you are in on the auto when in normal use? i.e. not in command shift. - 2007(57) XS Auto, Rimini Red, Alpaca Leather.
- GCS Hawke - Sports, BRG, Vulcan 2.1 inj'. My toy - built it myself in 2001.
