How to turn off Speed Limit Warning on 2025 Hyundai Kona

[@InsidesAndOutsides]

Just got my new Kona EV, and this immediately drove me mad. I always try to avoid speeding and I wouldn't mind if it were reliable - but it is NOT reliable. There are several speed limits near me that have recently been changed, and it's not up to date, so I was getting annoying beeps - arguably a danger in themselves because they distracted me from driving. Thank you for explaining how to switch it off. In my car I have a fourth option, where I can get speed limit information without the alerts. Sadly, however, I still have to select it whenever I turn the car on. TIP: hold the STAR key until the config menu appears, then select "driver assist". Then you can at least save a step or two and get to the menu at the push of that button! Someone should tell auto makers that "intelligent" safety features should not be forced on people if they are not ready. And this is not ready - its lack of accuracy makes it not fit for purpose.

[@georgiosi.moustakas5620]

its completely insane. same problem here in Greece. The warning could have been just visual and the driver should have the option to decide whether he prefers a sound warning or just a visual one. This is a major problem

[@doolanbrian]

Looks like it’s going to be a safety standard on all cars going forward 😞

[@stephenfloyd140]

I agree, a viual warning is fine, but that bloody awful beeping drives you mad

[@carol942]

Mitsubishi Outlander has visual sired alert but no sound .. COME ON Hyundai fix it

[@drmrbrewer]

Crazy that it triggers at only 1 mph/kph over the limit. If you could set the threshold at e.g. 5% or 10% over the limit then it becomes a very useful feature, and one that most people would likely be happy to leave on all the time. Hope that they issue a software update to allow this because clearly it's a very unpopular feature in its present form. Doesn't help that it isn't foolproof either... in my short test drive it was telling me the limit was 80 when actually it was 30!

' in my short test drive it was telling me the limit was 80 when actually it was 30!' - I could live with that! ;-)

[@PBK.london]

I really am considering returning my new car for this reason alone

[@doolanbrian]

It looks like it’s something we will all have to get used to on all modern cars, going forwards over the next few years, so all I can tell you is to persevere or switch it off at the start of each journey if it bugs you, thanks for watching!

[@PBK.london]

​@therealgirl3295yeah i realy hope they release an update to make you able to adjust the settings or something its a joke my randomly does the braking like im about to hit something when im miles away

[@colinhall8998]

I don’t blame you. I’ve just hired a Hyundai with feature and it’s driving me crazy, really spoiling my touring holiday.

[@d3n0tz_]

Why they cant make options either sound or flashing icon? Just like how they do it in Tesla. Its easy to program and wont affect safety rating

[@Outcast100]

Me to man me to....🤬

[@MrLongraphics]

You can actually turn it off before you start driving on every trip! Go to the settings menu where it shows you to deselect the warning and save it in your favourites (star button). That way its a short cut rather than having to go through the whole menu. DON'T do it whilst you're driving as otherwise the other alert will start chiming as you're not keeping your eyes on the road!!

[@colinhall8998]

I’d sell the car first and buy a drivers car.

[@eddyd8745]

Thanks for that. There is a short cut. If you are in the same main dash view (the car moving down a road) you can long press the left hand scroll wheel to go straight into the Speed Limit Warning pictogram.

[@doolanbrian]

Great information I appreciate it !

[@plug1461]

The problem I have is my car is so sensitive I can be driving on a national speed limit road and it’s bleeping at my to do 20/30 etc I’m guessing it must be picking up side roads and it’s driving me crazy. So thank you so much for posting this. I’m going to have to turn it off I can’t stand that noise.

[@doolanbrian]

I agree it is very sensitive unfortunately, hope this helps a little 🙂👍

You can set it as a favourite so that it takes you straight to driver assist.

[@jeffreyhenderson3778]

This totally ruined my new car. Everytime I get into my car I have to spend 5 minutes turning off all nuisance warnings. These things arent useful they are just a complete distraction. They accomplish the exact opposite of what they intend. Complete overreach.

[@NateJnr]

What you can do is silence it. Go to sounds and turn the beeping off. Doesn’t eliminate it, but turning off the beeping is 50% of the issue

[@robertworth5328]

Is it just this one or the driver attention one as well? Can you nit set onenof the star keys to trun it off or bring up the menu option??

[@doolanbrian]

Hey 👋 ok the star button can only have one function at a time unfortunately!

[@robertworth5328]

@@doolanbrian thanks... The speed warning and driver attention beeps were annoying on my test drive.... Wondering if this would stop me getting the car.... May have to test drive again

[@dowhatyouloveandlovewhatyo7024]

This is madness! Thanks for the video and confirming that I'm not doing anything wrong. Please note you can adjust the volume settings in the menu and this seems to save when you turn the car off. Not good for Hyundai though!

@@haraiclark thanks for watching, I guess people just need a forum to vent their frustrations sometimes when they are trying to adapt to something new so I can understand the frustration, but over time people will make the adjustment🙂👍

[@Girlinoz]

Have just been told by Hyundai Australia that you can no longer mute the ISLA due to “legislation” in Australia (couldn’t tell me what legislation). Have had a Kona hybrid for 6 weeks and the constant beeping is driving me crazy! It is constantly wrong - nothing safe or intelligent about it! Would not recommend.

[@doolanbrian]

Is it possible to keep the speed warning disabled with a obd port app

[@doolanbrian]

It’s a fair question, and I actually don’t know the answer, we can’t do it using the all the manufacturers software but it might be possible aftermarket !

Probably illegal as it would affect the safety rating of the car and could invalidate your insurance.

I also have considered getting rid of the car after only 4 weeks ownership from new. It constantly is inaccurately reading speed zones and beeping to the point of distraction! Our 2021 i30 never had this problem, if you were in a school zone on Sunday it would read 60kph not 40 I do like the feature and should not have to turn it off completely because it is inaccurate 50% of the time!

[@doolanbrian]

Understood and a fair point.. I believe there is a software patch underway to address this , there is also new software available for your head unit .. what country are you in ??

[@jasonnorton7321]

Don’t blame you. I’ve hired a Hyundai for two weeks and it’s driving me crazy after one day!

[@gangsteralcapone8749]

Cant we just block the mirror camera with a tape so it doesn't read thw signs?

[@doolanbrian]

Unfortunately not, the reason being it can sense that the camera is blocked, so it will give you a camera obscured warning instead 🙈🙂

even your fucking car give you orders now!!!

[@stuartthomas4836]

You want to live in Wales like I do with a national 20mph speed limit. I’m beginning to hate an otherwise good car.

[@doolanbrian]

That’s not ideal 😞 thanks for watching

[@drmrbrewer]

Or driving down a looooong steeeep hill in Bath with a crazy 20 limit all the way down… almost impossible not to stray over the limit. Really wouldn’t want to be beeped at all the way down, particularly knowing that I’m driving perfectly safely and always do.

[@AnnPullen-y7t]

I also live in Wales. The bonging is intolerable and as many have already said it's not even accurate. Had the car just 3 weeks and it's a REAL PAIN!! Turning off every time I get in to drive is my only option. Other than that it's a great car!

[@carol942]

The speed on the car is ALWAYS lower than the actual satellite speed so this feature is not only incorrect but annoying .. I have misophonia and it jangles my condition

[@doolanbrian]

Just curious what is the difference between satellite and actual speed , would it be 2/3 kmh ?? Thanks for watching 🙂

[@carol942]

Yes 60=56/7.. 100=95/96

[@sfw1956]

I'll never buy another car with this crap, the speedo reads 5kmh fast so at 60 on the speedo you're doing 55, if you travel at the speed limit then the speedo will read 5kmh faster and beep all the time. I came out of a carpark the other day with a 10km speed limit, being in a suburban area there were few speed limit signs and for the next 10 minutes in stop start traffic it constantly beeped. A pox on this crap, if you need this 'safety' equipment you shouldn't be driving.

[@doolanbrian]

Most people don’t like these systems and they are imperfect at times but it looks like we have to adapt to these systems as all new European cars will have these functions going forward as GSR is implementing

[@benthompson6326]

Or just get the European safety dicks to drive the cars… the distraction is horrible. You can’t use cruise control without going 3 km under the speed limit, because it doesn’t keep you at the limit efficiently and beeps at you til you slow down… the Mazda and Toyota new cars don’t do this, hyundai just being shit… everything else about the Kona makes me want to buy it. But I’m more seriously considering a used car because of how poor they’ve made this.

[@andrewhounsome5969]

It's hugely annoying. We bought a Kona for my wife last week and we love the car - but hate the lane assist and speed warning. I was delighted to find the way of turning both off, but aghast to discover that you can't turn them off permanently. Not to have that ability as a permanent option but to allow you to do it at the start of every journey is quite bizarre. It would help if you could adjust the speed parameters so it isn't going off every time you go 2 mph over the limit, but you can't even do that....

[@doolanbrian]

It is annoying for sure, unfortunately I believe this is legislation for modern cars, are you based in Europe?

[@andrewhounsome5969]

@@doolanbrian Yep. UK. But legislation or not, being able to turn it off temporarily but not permanently is plain scatterbrained. Probably legislation written by people who never drive a car.... ;-)
