Default Dash display speed limit

When the dash display is set to "Track" mode is there a way to show the speed limit on the top always, if you hit down arrow button the car shows speed limit but i would like it to show the speed limit always on the top display.

If the display is set to "Link to Drive mode" in Track display speed limit shows on top right of the dash always. My question is can it be done similarly for Track display

Why would you want to see the "speed limit" in Track mode?

I get that you can drive the car in Track mode on the streets but, if you are doing so, isn't the speed limit pretty irrelevant? If not, the speed limit is usually well posted, at least where I live.

Just look for the signs or your common sense knowledge of the basic speed laws in your state.

What year is your car? My 2017 GS shows the speed limit in the center of the display. I do not see the speed limit 'on top'

In Sport mode, the center display stays with what it was when the engine was turned off. I would expect it to do the same in Track mode but did not test it.

I have the "Speed Limit" set to display on the Heads-Up Display. We have so many different speed limits, the car is so smooth, it helps me remember that even though it looks like a 55 MPH road, it is only a 40.

Our Freeways also will go from 65 to 50, to 40, depending on road construction and the mood of the id10T in charge of the highway.speed limits.

That was an unnecessarily grouchy response.

+1 I keep the speed limit and current speed in the HUD all the time. Doesn’t matter what Dash display I have going.

I see that you have a 2019 C7 which means that you have Apply Carplay, so since your phone is mirrored, use Waze or Google maps and those applications shows the speed limits of where you are traveling. I understand you want to see it on the heads up or steering wheel dash but a glance at the Infotainment screen serves the same purpose and even turns red when you exceed the posted speed limit.
