Problems with ABS, TC & Active handling as well as F45 shock system malfunctions can cause this to be displayed on the DIC. Take it to the Dealership and let them fix it.

IF AH/TC/ABS systems can cause this...maybe...
When you start your can and start driving before these systems initialize, they all give an error. Maybe this is the cause and it limited your speed as it hadn't properly checked all systems...shot in the dark...

I'm not exactly sure what causes it, but I know that the reasons were described in the owner's manual when I read it. Might be a good to time to look.
