How to Turn Off the 120 km/h Speed Warning Alarm on the Land Cruiser?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the 120 km/h speed warning alarm on the Land Cruiser is to reduce speed appropriately. Taking the 2016 Land Cruiser as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 5095mm, width 1975mm, height 1930mm, a wheelbase of 2850mm, a fuel tank capacity of 138 liters, and a curb weight of 2635kg. The 2016 Land Cruiser features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a four-link non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 275 PS, a maximum power of 202 kW, and a maximum torque of 385 Nm, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
When driving my own Land Cruiser, I encountered the annoying issue of a buzzing alarm at 120 km/h. The solution is quite straightforward: first, park the car safely, then press the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel to access the dashboard menu after starting the engine. Switch to the settings option, find the vehicle personalization or driver assistance section, and locate the overspeed alarm switch to turn it off. Newer Land Cruiser models, like those from 2020 onwards, make it easy with touchscreen controls; older models might require connecting an OBD diagnostic tool to reset ECU parameters. It’s recommended to use a Toyota-specific scanner or borrow one from an auto repair shop—there are also online tutorials that guide you step by step. The key point is not to DIY casually, as the alarm is a safety feature, and disabling it significantly increases risks—losing a high-speed reminder can lead to oversight and accidents. Personally, I keep it enabled but adjust the alarm volume only during long highway trips to balance convenience and safety. Always consult the owner’s manual before making any changes to avoid mistakes.
