Silly question...please help!

When I'm driving agressively, why does the car beep and produce the number 62 on the dash with a circle around it? Annoys the he'll out of me! How do I shut that thing off for good? Thanks for any responses!!

Is it doing this whenever you go over 62 MPH?

That's the speed limit warning.
You can switch it off through your on board computer menu.

Cool, I guess I can figure that out...it just started happening! Wonder why the guy at the shop configured it like that! Thanks!

No worries mate.
The minute you access the onboard computer menu, you'll know how to do it.
You can even set the speed limit warning to different speeds.
For cars coming into Kuwait, the speed limit warning is set at the factory to 120 KMH and the ability to switch off/set different limits through the onboard computer is disabled.
You have to sign a liability waiver at the P dealer for them to activate through PIWIS that ability for your onboard computer.
