HUD Not showing posted speed limit

[-MOOSE-]

HUD was functioning fine yesterday today tho it does not indicate the posted speed.  Just dashes.  
 

what gives?

For the same stretch of road? There are a few spots near me that have never shown a speed limit, have always been dashes, and there are other that are just wrong.

Speed limit is only displayed on roads that have the limit in the database. (truck is not 'reading' the signs as if drives by)

Same deal on portable gps units that have limit display.

Same deal with Waze. 

Same deal on dash displays that show speed limit. 

 

Occurs more often on minor roads. Especially if the road doesn't have posted speed limit signs.

'Here', no signs means the default limit is in force.  30mph /50 kph in town, 50 mph / 80 kph in rural areas.  

 

I guess that means dashes mean the default is in effect?

 

In Ontario there are a couple sections of limited access highway that they have increased the maximum speed as a test. 

I was on one of them recently, and the display showed the normal speed limit, not the higher 'test' limit that is posted.

 

Probably there are also locations that have changed to a lower speed limit, that are not in the database.  

 

Blaming the vehicle probably won't stand up in court if there is a posted location that has had the HUD or dash displaying higher than actual speed limit. 

At the end of the day, the court is gonna say the driver is responsible for the speed of travel....

Thanks, both!

 

Yup.  On same roads, it worked, then it didn't.  One is a major interstate.   I've only had the truck for a couple of days, so I'll give it another test drive and see if the problem persists.  I thought maybe it might have had something to do with nav or HUD setting, but I didn't intentionally change anything.  I'll fool with it a bit.

Nav system also was not working due to SD card removed error.  Turns out I somehow loosened it from its slot in the center console . Nav system back operational and HUD returned to normal function.
