Speed limited is normal cruise control..... i.e you limit the speed

Cruise control is where you set a speed for the car to run at automatically all the time.

A speed limiter sets a maximum speed the car can run to but you have to operate the accelerator yourself and it will not allow you to exceed that set speed

Does your mode button do something different then ?

Must be your button that does something different unless of course you are confusing speed limiteD with a speed limiteR. Obviously I know the difference as number of my cars in the past had cruise control (all the regular type where you set the speed to maintain). In the non ACC mode on this car is no different

Just to be clear so you can, in non ACC mode, set your Speed LlmiteR and still have your Cruise control maintaining a set constant speed ??

(The reason I ask is the OP was asking if you could run a normal Cruise Control without ADC)
I thought you can only have ADC mode or Speed limiteR mode.

Having had a few goes with the speed limiter I'd agree with your last point - i.e. it only serves to maintain your preset max speed while you are controlling the throttle yourself.

Thanks for that..

It confirms what my car does ie ADC mode or Speed LimiteR mode nothing else.
