Suzuki Across speed limiter

[Oscarmax]

Picked up our new Suzuki Across this morning, I am coming a bit confused, I have tried to work out how the speed limiter works, I have looked through the manual, there is only a cruise control button ?

That sounds a little odd and if that's the case, the Across doesn't have a speed limiter. On a standard Toyota RAV4 steering wheel there's a cruise control / speed limiter control button on the right hand spoke of the steering wheel. The cruise control on/off button is at 3 o'clock; the speed limiter on/off is at 9 o'clock. It's all in the RAV4 manual ... 😉

It rather looks as though the Across may NOT have a speed limiter ...

Looks like I do not have a speed limiter, I do the latest updates plus the new larger screen and fancy cruise control which I will never use

Why ever not? I can see no point at all to the speed limiter, but the radar cruise control is a great driving aid when used sensibly ... 😉

The Toyota PHEV also has an audible warning when you exceed the speed limit which I'm sure would be replicated in the Across?

Hi Phillip,

About 85% of journeys are local, the the 15% is when we are towing the caravan, I have been out today to use a light foot on the throttle, even in ECO mode it is so much more responsive than out Outlander PHEV.

I have managed to steady my right foot, I will have to look in the handbook if the Suzuki is fitted with an audible warning.

Audible warning now set.

I must admit that my last four cars have had speed limiters fitted and I've never used it? I do make use of the "normal" cruise control extensively, but only very occasionally the radar controlled one although it comes into its own for me on busy motorways with stop start traffic.

Odd that the Suzuki Across does not have a speed limiter. Wife’s Suzuki Ignis SZ5 has a limiter and cruise control. Must be 1/3 price of the Across. The odd thing with the Ignis cruise control is when you set it there is no indication of the speed set other than the speedometer reading.
