Speed limit recognition thinks it's seeing km/h

Unread post by ics4ajd »

Hi! I've just got a new '23 plate DS3 - loving the car, however I seem to have an issue with the Speed Limit Recognition displayed on the dashboard. It would appear that the car correctly reads the speed, but thinks they're showing km, so as I'm in the UK it converts them to miles giving me meaningless speeds. The car is set to the UK and to display miles - but on the motorway it shows the speed limit as 43 and in a 30mph area is shows 19 (converting 30km to miles) - I've switched the location to elsewhere and back to UK, and switched from miles to km and back again in the settings but no luck.

Any suggestions about how I can sort this would be gratefully received! Thanks!

Check ALL the system settings in the Touchscreen to make sure that MPH is set. If the speed sign for a road is obviously wrong and in KMs, then a setting is not set correctly. Make sure that the UK is set as the default country under Navigation Search. On many occasions a software update can default it back to France and this can affect the navigation searching for example.

If you have read through everything and confirmed it is all set up for UK and Miles, then take it back to DS and they will check the configuration at the system level.
