OK so i can confirm the car did brake itself to keep within the speed limit, only when adaptive cruise is on. I went down the A45 today and it was set on 60. Just before the 50mph section there was a 50mph sign flashing in the HUD and the car slowly braked until it reduced the speed to 50mph and then carried on as normal.

In D mode, I also noticed a green symbol that looks like a foot pressing the pedal. Without reading the manual, I am assuming this is telling me the optimum time to brake for a junction for best economy. This doesn't show in 'S' mode which is why I haven't noticed it until today!

I remember reading that all D5s were supposed to be Hybrids, so do I have a Hybrid?
