Another hidden feature?

We are in Switzerland having driven down through some atrocious weather. Whilst the car still has failed to note the new 80kph limit on ordinary roads in France, it can distinguish the change of compulsory speed limits on motorways. Normally the French motorway limit is 130 kph. When raining, it’s a 110 kph. We noticed that when the rain started, the HUD changed the limit from 130kph to 110 kph. When the rain stopped, after about 2 minutes the HUD reverted to 130kph. And it did not appear linked to the use of the wipers.
Interestingly I got an in car SatNav update about 2 weeks ago. And for those that might interested in economy, we achieved 40.5 mpg cruising at the above speeds into a strong headwind fully loaded. Not bad for a 2 litre petrol 4 wheel drive.
