Just as an aside. Only had my S90 a few days but wondered what was going on when on a 40mph road the speed warning came on and car braked when the sensors picked up a 10 mph speed sign on the side of the road for a garden centre that was facing at an angle to the car park. Technology is a many edged sword. If anybody had been following me they’d be saying something unpleasant about volvo drivers.

That'll be ASL - Automatic Speed Limiter. It's a completely pointless gimmick due to too many false positives, as you've found out. Fortunately it can be disabled - check the manual - and saved to your driver's profile so that it stays disabled.

There was a section of the (now defunct) old A14 westbound by Huntingdon with a 70mph speed limit, but a 40mph sign half way up an exit slip road. It *always* triggered the "exceeding the speed limit" bongs. Pretty sure if I'd had ASL enabled that a rear-ender would've been inevitable.

I thought it was a fantastic idea until I too had a false activation. Never used it since.
