Skoda speed limiter

[mikeos]

Managed to finally work out how to initiate the speed limiter, but a question remains. After I set the required speed I'm still puzzled as to what it's supposed to do. I set the speed as,say 33mph and the selected speed appears on the dash. However, as I start driving the car seems happy to let me exceed this speed as soon as I start to accelerate. Am I expecting to much from this function? I would have thought that to be any use I would be unable to exceed the selected speed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't used the limiter function, but I guess you have selected the speed setting but not started the limiter. I would imaging you need to pull the cruise control lever to set and to push away to turn it off.

Thanks, I think I did all that, but never mind.

Which speed limiter are you using?

My Karoq has a lower stalk on the left of the steering wheel, which controls the adaptive cruise control or speed limiter. It defaults to cruise control, so when I start the engine I use the 'Assist' button on the steering wheel to select speed limiter instead. The stalk needs to be pulled forward to be activated.

When I am at my chosen speed I then press the lower stalk sideways to set the chosen speed. The car will not then accelerate passed that speed (although if cruising down a hill it may exceed it). To vary the chosen speed as you pass speed limit signs, I then flick the stalk up or down to vary the speed limiter in increments of 5 mph.

It works perfectly for me and removes the need to keep glancing at the speedo to check your speed.

that's great vey helpful. That procedure is all familier to me with the exception of pulling the stalk towards me. I'll try that. I do select "speed limit" on the assist menu first.
