Re: Red 50K mark on speedo
I just assumed one of 2 things...
1) 50km is a common speed when cruising through residentials and busy streets, so the red helps enforce that when monitoring speed.
2) Isn't that the speed the cruise control becomes active?Derick -
Re: Red 50K mark on speedo

Re: Red 50K mark on speedo
It's also the lowest speed you can drive while still in 5th.

Re: Red 50K mark on speedo
I always wondered that as well. I just assumed the same as everyone else also. That must be right if everyone else came up with the same conclusion on their own. Kinda like how if you picture a carrot in your mind, most people will picture it pointing down and to the left....I have no idea what I'm trying to say

Re: Red 50K mark on speedo
The Audi's my parents have, have red marks at 30, 50 and 120 I guess the common speed limits in their minds.
I cannot even picture a carrot and not sure if I want to
