Hi I am new to Honda. I have very recently bought a new Jazz EX. However I am still trying to work out all the controls. I have been trying to use the intelligent speed limiter. However the speed limit sign which appears on the dash only stays for a few hundred yards then it goes blank. The dealer say all the setting are right and he is going to contact Honda technical on Monday. Does anyone have any problem with displaying the speed limit. Without the speed limit the intelligent speed limit wont work.
This sounds like you’re not actually activating the “intelligent” speed limiter (ISL). NB following comments are for Mk3, but I think it’s similar for the Mk4.
When driving normally, the sign recognition will display the speed limit when you pass a sign and it will disappear if you don’t pass another one, that’s normal. If you want to use the ISL, you have to turn the system on using the Main button, then use the Lim button to cycle through the various cruise and limiter options, then finally activate it by pressing either the Set or Res button. The limit the car’s using will then show at the top of the display, above the sign recognition display, and it will change when you pass further signs. It may not work until you actually pass a speed limit sign.
Use it with care. The sign recognition simply isn’t reliable enough to use in this way, it can result in the car behaving in a way you - and other drivers - don’t expect if it misreads a sign.
