Kuga PHEV Intelligent Speed Limiter

One for the software engineers. My Intelligence Speed Limiter is not so intelligent. It picks up lower speed limits from adjacent or joining roads and slows the car down accordingly. Whilst driving on  a 30mph road and passing a 20mph zone on the left it suddenly slows the car to 20 for 100 yards or so. Also have the same in on a 40 mph road  with a joining 60 mph minor road allowing car to accelerate unlawfully.  I think it’s picking up from the Sat Nav rather than the road signs. Anyway it’s annoyingly unintelligent. Can this be fixed please @ford sync

I don’t believe it uses any info from the sat nav for intelligent cruse or limiter it’s purely on sign recognition.

unfortunately if the sign can be seen by the car it will read it, I get this in a few places where I’m living due to poor road sign placement and roads running parallel to the road I’m on.
The car doesn’t know the difference it just sees the sign, now if it did use the satnav as well it might work better.

I’ve turned both off and just use normal adaptive cruse or the normal speed limiter.

I think you are referring to Intelligent Cruise Control, if so 90% of the time it is fine, but can pick up other speed signs (say an flyover), the odd time got confused 90mph ???
