Default Speed Limit Display on 2017 Macan

Hi - does anyone know how to display the current speed limit on the PCM small display on a Macan? I have a demo that we are trying (just ordered a '17 GTS) and was wondering...dealer does not know. On my '16 RS, 981 Spyder, '14 Panamera GTS, i can select it and display it on the small LCD screen to the right of the tach. There is an option to select it on the previous PCM; just wondering if there is a feature/option I need to order to get this feature (which I obviously like). I ordered Nav, Connect Plus...maybe it is tied into Connect Plus?
thanks for any help or clarification on this.

Believe the digital speed is displayed lower center of the main display/tach.

I was looking for the speed limit icon which adjusts for whatever road you are on. It is a cool feature but not sure how to enable it on the '17 PCM 4.0. It appears that you are referring to the current speed...

the speed limit signs only display on the main screen. There's no option to display on the small screen like the PCM3 systems. I noticed this right away when my wife brought her S home.

Thanks - that is helpful - how do you enable the speed limit icon on the large screen? Did not see a way to do that. Thanks for your help!

Bring up the map, hit the OPT button, then it's the SET MAP -> General Settings - > speed limits display, plus lots of other settings. The OPT key works for any main function screen you're on, and brings up the settings for that section.

Will give it a try - many thanks for the detail.

Default Speed Limit Display

I found it to be a problem for the following reasons;

1. It actually covers up some data from other items
2. It does not recognize school zones
3. I did not find it always correct due to various road changes

Certainly not legal in court but it's handy for new roads
