This page provides important information about limitations of the Hyundai i10 Intelligent Speed Limit Warning functionality

Background

From July 2024 all new vehicles sold in UK are required to have Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) speed limiters fitted

  

Speed limiters work in a variety of different ways, both in how the prevailing speed limit is detected and how drivers are notified.

Intelligent Speed Assist systems

Intelligent Speed Assist systems fitted on most new cars use a combination of a GPS-based database and onboard camera to determine active speed limits. 

  

The system fitted as standard to the Hyundai i10 uses only only camera-based technology to interpret roadside signage. This significantly impacts the system’s reliability and accuracy.


This issue is exacerbated in the 2024 Hyundai i10 because the Intelligent Speed Limit Warning (ISLW) cannot be disabled.

Hyundai i10 deficiencies

  • Intrusive audible warnings alerting drivers to excessive speed while driving well within the speed limit
  • No means to cancel erroneous alarms
  • Repeated audible warnings until system is able to resynchronise with the correct speed limit

Hyundai i10 issues in more detail

2024 Hyundai i10 owners manual provides a full-page list of situations where the i10’s speed warning system may behave incorrectly. 

These relate to problems with missing signage and difficulties interpreting signs due to weather, lighting conditions or obstructions. 

There are also difficulties with national speed limit signs and erroneous interpretation of other visual cues (eg. signs on lorries) which the camera-based system cannot handle.

Disabling Speed Limit Warning / Alarms

It is not possible to permanently disable Intelligent Speed Limit Warning on the 2024 Hyundai i10 or cancel erroneous alarms as they occur. 

Temporarily deactivation is possible by scrolling through several layers of setup menu and is not recommended while driving. 

The system reactivates each time the vehicle is started.

Conclusion

Depending on i10 driver's circumstances and usage patterns, limitations of the i10 Intelligent Speed Limit Warning system may outweigh the possible value. Some drivers may also feel that frequent audible alarms, possibly erroneous, provide an unwelcome or dangerous distraction to safe driving.

Suggestions

Potential purchasers of new 2024 Hyundai i10 should:

  • Test drive the 2024 model vehicle in a variety of road situations ensuring the Intelligent Speed Limit Warning is enabled. 
  • Ask Hyundai sales agent to explain how to temporarily disable the Intelligent Speed Limit Warning
  • Ask Hyundai sales agent to explain the limitations of the i10’s camera-based Intelligent Speed Limit Warning
  • Ask Hyundai sales agent to let you view the relevant sections of the Hyundai i10 user manual
