Adaptive Speed Limiter
Any idea how to activate adaptive speed limiter on x5 like the video below shows.
On my 2019 X5 with DA Pro, I see only adjust manually, or show current limit option. NYC got 2000 new speed cameras and they are active 6am - 10pm and I don’t like pictures taken of my car without permission. |

In my car I needed to put the setting as "Adjust Manually" to have the Speed Limit Assist Activated. Note that this option only works when your cruise control is activated whether it is on Assisted Driving mode or Distance Control mode.
My car is a 2020 with the Driving Assistant Professional

I tried to use this feature but it didnt work as well as I thought. I set it to 40mph on one notorious stretch of road, and when going down a hill, it went to 45mph and gave me these audible warnings that I was going faster than the limit.
When I tried it at the dealership, it wouldnt go past the limit, even if you pushed your foot all the way down on the pedal. |

The Manual Speed Limit control - in the US - gives you the option of selecting the displayed speed limit in the center instrument cluster as your current speed, by pressing the SET button (if you have selected ACC previously). Outside the US, I believe the speed can be automatically set if this option is selected, per the video. It was automatic in my US-spec Q7, and I find the manual system in the X5 to be better in almost every respect. Last edited by Paladin1; 02-22-2020 at 08:32 PM.. |

I don't think it has anything to do with regulatory requirements. Probably similar to the reason Audi doesn't have an "Auto Hold" button in US cars, or cupholder covers - features that come standard with the same models in Europe. I suspect $$ factor in there somewhere, although this would seem to be just software activation.

This can be unlocked in coding:
https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1687106 There are similarly confusing regulatory issues with remote start in the UK. Some vendors allow it, some don't. Technically it's illegal to quit/have the engine running on a public road in the UK but perfectly fine on private land. I guess some car makers allow for private use and others just follow the laws. |
