Don't have an owners manual yet and was just wondering what the
limits pertained to. Thanks.

One of the features is that you can set an alarm to sound at any speed you want. I keep mine set at 99mph and it will sound an audible alarm to let you know. It is a nice little feature considering how effortless these cars get to speed !

Sure, set the limit alarm to the speed you want the doors to lock, then when the alarm sounds, press the lock button...

But seriously, I think the dealer can set that...

I put mine at 100, but got tired of listening to it 20 times a day.

is it possible to set it to 300 ?

the only problem with the audible alarm is that I rarely hear mine go off at my setting,, as it is not very loud and at speed, the road noise and exhaust note usually drowns out the alarm sound ! It is still a good little reminder when you can actually hear it .

Yep, I had mine set at 100MPH today and could not hear it with road noise, engine, and the smile on my face restricting my hearing...
