Hello,

I just had my entire car reset and now there is a light that comes on when I go over 75 mph. Does anyone know how to turn that off?

 

Put on the brakes?

Never heard of this. What does the symbol look like?

 

I'll take a picture of it tomorrow; it's in the far left side.

Says mph with a circle around it and a line through it like the ghost busters sign.

 

ex POLICE car reverting to its former persona?

(not very helpful, Ken) ...

You went over 75 MPH in your S Type!? Geez man, control your urges to stomp the pedal on the right! ;-)

Oh dear...what will be next, speed limiters in all of our cars.

Just a bump, I'm interested in what this comes to... Like the annoying CASIS shift lights in the '80s Porsches.

Something like this would most likely be documented in the owner's manual.

 

Trust me that's the first place I looked, I found nothing. No reference to that light at all.

 

here is where it is and what it looks like, if I drop below 75 mph it goes off, if I hit 75mph it comes on.

 

Overspeed warning (Amber)
(Gulf Co-operation Council only)
Illuminates if the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h (75 mph).

 

It is. Page 4-1 of the owners manual shows an illustration of the light but there is no accompanying text to explain it's function at least in the North America version..

 

Out here in the United Arab Emirates, all cars are required to have either a visual or audio speed warning when you exceed 120kmh (75mph) - the speed limit on the motorway/highway. My car puts up a red "120kmh" annunciator on the bottom right of the instrument panel - thankfully without audio soundtrack My jeeps go "bing, bing, bing, bing......." ad infinitum

 

Had "entire car reset". Done wrongly, it seems - take it back.

 

sounds like they have set your car region to a different country/continent.

the are some differences the way a car set to different countries behaves.

the usa for example dont have deadlocking like we do in the uk.

 

I've seen this on my BMWs, but not my Jaguar. On my BMWs the speed warning was easy to change, but I suspect you will have to have it programmed off by a Jaguar scan tool. The light isn't shown at all in my owner's manual.

 

Sounds like a trip to the dealer to have it changed. Although they (the Indy shop) fixed the vehicle I'm not 100% sure that they actually did it. They put close to 100 miles on the car, then they changed the license plates to their own i.e. removed the dealerships plates that were on there when I purchased it. So here is what I'm thinking, they drove it to the dealer or another shop and told them it was one of their cars (they are a pre-owned car dealer as well) to get a break on the labor. Although I can't prove this, it's just a hunch or gut feeling. Either way I don't really feel like going back there which is why I would take it to the dealer to fix the MPH light issue.

 

Whether the independent shop did the work themselves, or subcontracted the repair to a dealer, the first shop is responsible. You've got a pretty clear case of them inducing a new problem, so it's up to them to make it right without any additional charge. Even if they have to sub it out again to the dealer, you shouldn't have to foot the bill.
