Basic Autopilot Speed

[catcityj]

I can set cruise control to whatever speed I want it to hold at no problem. When I use my basic autopilot, it won't let me go more than the speed limit. Am I missing a setting?

No... autopilot needs to recognize lane markings, follow curves that might be tight etc. There's an imposed speed limit to that.

So If I want to do 85 in a 70 limit, I cannot on autopilot, correct.

I don't remember the exact values but that is mostly true, yes. It will only go a few mph or kph over the limit and has a global maximum.

Thank you for your help

You can exceed the speed limit on autopilot. You have to specify an "offset" - it's in your AP menu. Either set it to a % above the speed limit or you can specify mph above (to a max of 5 mph over). I have mine set for 5 over.

On freeway, you can set your cruise speed to the maximum of its capability (90 MPH for radar and 85 MPH for radarless). It might bump your speed down when it sees a speed sign, and you might have to manually set the cruise speed up again.

You can set a maximum of 5 MPH above the city speed limit in the city. If it's 25, you can maximally set it at 30...
