Does that mean you don't have cruise control, and the car will not go faster than 40?
It's a great feature, the speed limiter. I personally like it more than cruise control because you're still partially in control of your speed, so if you're cruising on the highway and approach a slower moving vehicle, you simply let off the throttle a little bit. Once in the clear, you lower your foot again and accelerate right up to the speed you set, but not past it. When you're at that speed, you can pretty much press the accelerator around 20% further without it exceeding the speed, so you just keep your foot roughly in the right region to maintain cruise. I love it!
