Dual-setting speed limiter

Croner has a dual speed limiter function:

  • Default speed limit: Based on country regulation, it is set in the factory and cannot be modified to exceed regulation speed.

  • Selective speed limit: Through IC (Instrument Cluster) – the speed limit function can be set by the customer to any speed less than the default speed. This setup is password protected. This will help to reduce accidents caused by excessive speed and reduce excess fuel consumption.
