Speedo locked at 210 kph

Hello people,

I have a 2003 s350L and for some reason the speedometer is locked at 210 kph even when the speed limiter is off. I've tried resetting all the settings, played with the cluster light intensity, but nothing worked. I know for a fact that the lights past 210 kph work because they light up as the engine is starting, but then as soon as it starts idling, the speedo lights only reach 210 kph instead of the entire 260 kph range. Does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Hello User.

Reading the manual might help.
Keyword "winter tyres limiter".

Cheers, Frank

Thanks for the response, but I don't have the permanent speedtronic function on my car. Does anyone know another way to solve this problem?

Does the other gauges work? Were you using cruise control when it happened? Have you checked your fuses for the instrument cluster?
