    Default What does "Over Speed" mean?

    To be honest, I had quite a bad night and decided to take it out on the roads.
    Did quite a lot of stupid things, mainly speeding.

    When I got home, I noticed a light on the dashboard that said "Over Speed" in orange.

    I'm not too sure what it means. However, I have a general idea.

    I've got a 2001 VX S

    On my VP its simply the speed you set so a warning sounds. As soon as you go above set speed, the warning goes off.

    Oh I see.. didn't even realize I had set a speed. Perhaps I should pay more attention to my speedometer. Not sure what speeds I was hitting to be honest. Just floored it to escape from reality =(

    Not sure if yours is different, but you have to physically activate mine! So you should know if you've done something (or it was set so high that you've never hit it before)

    It goes off when you slow down below the set speed though, so not sure why you'd still be seeing it when you got home?

    Press "mode" till it says O/speed in the display, then you can adjust it with the arrows.

    Oh, and cars + bad emotions = bad idea

    lol didn't even realize it beeped. Music was blaring too loud to hear. Bad emotions + maniac driving + loud music = death wish. Found it as a new comfort though. Like a fix.. and it's damn addictive but it's not good.

    But ay, thanks everyone =) At least I know what it bloody means now.

    you can turn it off and on.
    It beeps when you reach the speed you have set it at (goes in 5k incraments).
    the words overspeed will still flash until you drop below the set speed.
    Chech your manual.
