LIM light

Can't believe I never noticed this before today, but have you guys noticed that if you look very carefully at the speedometer, just under where it says "miles", and just above the trip odometer, there is a faint little indicator which says LIM that can light up, presumably when the car hits the governed limit of 155mph...

The LIM light that you saw is for variable cruise control (Euro spec)

Thanks, you are correct. I read up on this and found:

"Speedtronic variable speed limiter is the further development of the conventional cruise control explained above, which allows the driver to set a maximum speed limit for themselves (the car) in the range between 30km/h and the vehicles maximum speed. Pressing the “Lim” switch on the cruise control stalk sets the speed limiter. The desired maximum speed is then stored and appears on the central display in the instrument cluster. A small orange light is lit on the stalk to indicate that the speed limiting function will be in use if the stalk is moved, as opposed to the Cruise control function. (They cannot be used simultaneously). The driver can increase the set speed in 10 km/h or single km/h increments by flicking the lever up until the desired maximum speed is reached."
