Overspeeds are recorded when you go over 90 kph for a minute or more. In the UK we use mph (60) for speed limits whereas in euroland they use kph (90). Tbh it shouldn’t be anything to lose sleep over as long as you don’t exceed 60 mph (97 kph) but I’d check your companies own policy as some can get shirty regarding overspeeds.

hi baz thanks ,why don’t the cruise control slow you down to the preset limit like all the cars i have had with it are the truck ones all the same ?

could you help me with an other little problem i had ,i stopped for a break ,stuck it on bed ,went for a coffee ,came back and it was on availability ? why did it change ? had to just explain on the print out what happened but don’t really know myself ?

thanks again …rob

I’d hazard a guess that sometime after putting it on break you switched the ignition on (perhaps to shut a window) then switched it back off and your tacho went to its default setting which in your case is POA. Mine for example defaults to break.
