Default Speed Limiter Switch


Hey everyone can someone tell me what is the purpose of that green light which appears on your dash next to the tach. It activates when pressed in on the bottom right stalk of the steering column, what the heck does that option do? Is it part of the cruise control or something else?

Wait Marc, I'll get this one.

Yes it is actually something else.

Once you reach the top speed of the vehicle the light will go green and it will keep you from going any faster. Keep the button in all the time, that way you'll never get anywhere near that speed.

Give me strength!

Honestly, I didn't think that there was more than one of these in the world, then suddenly Phil is having a Christmas party!

The funny thing is, it's happened to all of us at one time or another. It's just a matter of for how long it baffled us...

So I shouldn't make that joke about it being the IMS warning light again?

I'm sure Phil never turned on his cruise control in the driveway...

I stay in touch with him, although, I'll admit I'm overdue for an email.
