Hehe!  Count yourself lucky.  In Dubai every car has a speed warning - you go over 120km/h and the car beeps at you until you drop under again!  Good excuse to put the stereo up and gun it though, so you can't hear!

iirc you bring up the speed warning, then hold the rset switch on the stalk for 2 seconds. It should then flash, and the up / down switches alter the speed. Go down low enough and it cancels.

I was messing around with this yesterday. Stationary with the ignition on, cycled through the display until i got to the speed warning (set at 75). Held the reset button on the underside of the stalk for a couple of seconds.. nothing happened. Let go and tried it again, then did some doublejointed ninja move to click the up/down button at the same time, and when i let go this time.. the speed had been reset. Then just clicked it up to 85mph and pressed 'ok' again. I really doubt that's the right way to do it, it was probably lotto but it worked for me.

Drive the car at the speed you want and press the little button under the stalk, whilst the MFD is set to speed warning twice.

Once to zero it

Once to set it to the speed you want.

When you press it the second time, you will set it to what ever speed you are doing.
