So driving home tonight down my main road about 45-50mph when a do not exceed speed warning flashes up on the driver display. It was so fast I barely got a look at it. Then it poped up again about a second later. It was a circle with 18mph and said do not exceed. What is this all about?? Never seen before and then never saw any more during the rest of my driving around tonight.

Sounds like the message when you hit the park assist button when you are going over 18mph.

 

[drdon]

Seems reasonable. But I had both hands at 10 n 2

You can set a speed warning in the dic. Perhaps you accidentally set it at 18mph

I have a hard time believing GM would even make it so you set a limit that ridiculously low, but they have proved me wrong on many other things before hahaha

Isn't it amazing what can be found in that little book that lives in the dark of the glovebox and never sees daylight?

Since the message said 18 MPH when he was doing 40-45 it isn't this plus it actually limits speed; strike 1 and you're out. :devil

All in good fun Bill.

It is the speed warning that got set to 18 mph in the DIC.

Well that worries me, My dealer has a pair of rear shocks ordered because of a leak. I've got a trip planned next weekend about 600 Miles. It's all highway, So no canyon carving. I guess I'm reading it doesn't have a limp mode that disables the car. Not sure if a single shock can cause a system failure.?

I set my speed warning to 68........ for now. :wink

So, in my daily/weekly routine, I get to drive fairly new vehicles on a regular basis--from a dealer to a detail shop, in come cases over 20 miles each way, on Interstate-grade roadways (up to 70 MPH, which I push to 79).

One thing that happens occasionally is that a "speed limit exceeded" warning--both audible and on the DIC--comes up...I have yet to drive an SS on this route, but I do drive quite a few Silverado pickups with this feature. I "assumed" it was part of Navigation/GPS that keeps track of vehicle position and has programmed data that alerts the driver if the posted limit pinpointed by GPS is exceeded by some threshold amount.

Maybe that's not the case....I just happened to go faster than the warning setting....imagine that!!!

From Owner's Manuals:

2015 SS Sedan
Instruments and Controls 5-22

Speed Warning
This display is used to set the
vehicle speed at which the speed
warning chime sounds and the alert
is displayed. The speed can be set
by pressing SET/CLR while the
speed warning display is showing.


2015 Silverado
Instruments and Controls 5-13

Speed Warning: The Speed
Warning display allows the driver to
set a speed that they do not want to
exceed. To set the Speed Warning,
press p when Speed Warning is
displayed, or press V on the main
view to set the speed value. Press
w or x to adjust the value. Press
V to set the speed. Once the speed
is set, this feature can be turned off
by pressing V while viewing this
page. If the selected speed limit is
exceeded, a pop-up warning is
displayed with a chime.

Mine was not set when I bought it = I now have it set (not going to say how fast)...

If you own a Chevy SS 14-16 do yourself a favor and read the owners manual from cover to cover. Even if your a car "GURU", you may be surprised at what you learn about your SS.

As the owner of a new '16 The owners manual has been open more than any car I've owned.

It sits on the kitchen counter, and on a daily basis my wife is thumbing thru it learning something new every day.

There are plenty of things to personalize.

 

[RedhotFLSS]

Viper 14 is absolutely correct / the owner's manual is my new found friend since buying this car (have reviewed other vehicle's manuals I've had, but none as much as this)

That's why I have copies downloaded on my phone and my laptop. Hard copy isn't always at hand, but my phone or my laptop usually is.

Thanks for all the comments. I do need to pull that little book out. I verified the over speed setting (off) and did to a test of pushing the park assist while driving this morning. The error was slightly different. I wonder if this has something to do with the magnetic ride control since I had that harness replaced several months ago when it got wound up in the drive shaft. Anyway will take a look in the book. gonna have to take it in soon for the driver seat repair and radio updates.

That's a promising lead. IIRC, the wire harness connected to an position sensor to track the movement of the control arms which is an input for the mag ride system.

Ah the plot thickens.

Yes, it needs to be checked out .....
