clock setting Alfa Romeo 159 2008 Owner handbook (in English)

Speed limit (SPEED BEEP)
With this function it is possible to set the
car speed limit (km/h or mph) which,
if exceeded, automatically sounds a
buzzer and displays a specific message
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) to alert the driver. Once the
warning cycle is over the display will
resume the standard screen. The warn-
ing message will disappear only after
the car speed slows 5 km/h (5 mph)
below the set speed limit or after press-
ing briefly the MENUbutton. This pro-
cedure is carried out just once after ex-
ceeding the speed limit and it can be re-
peated only if the car speed slows at
least 5 km/h (5 mph) below the set
speed limit and then it increases until
exceeding the speed limit again.
