I have a 2023 Telluride SXP. Why does my speed limit icon flash occasionally when I am driving at or below the posted speed?
A flash warning over the posted speed or selected offset makes sense. But at or below? It’s annoying. What’s up? What can I do to stop this other than turning off speed limit assist?
Thanks
The speed limit assist system in your 2023 Telluride SXP is designed to alert you when you are exceeding the posted speed limit. However, it is not uncommon for the system to occasionally flash the warning icon even when you are driving at or below the posted speed limit.
One possible reason for this is that the speed limit data used by the system may not always be up to date or accurate, which could result in occasional false warnings. Additionally, the system may not be able to accurately detect the speed limit due to factors such as poor weather conditions, road construction, or other temporary changes to the speed limit.
If the flashing speed limit icon is causing annoyance, you may consider adjusting the settings of the speed limit assist system. You can adjust the sensitivity of the system by accessing the settings menu in the instrument cluster or the infotainment system. Look for options such as “Speed Limit Warning” or “Speed Limit Alert” to adjust the settings as desired.
