I have a RRS2V8SC. I noticed that my speed regulator is unable to limit my speed when going down a hill. I don’t mean a steep offroad descent but a standard onroad one. For instance if I set to 50 km/h (I am in Switzerland), then it will increase up to 60. I don’t have this issue with the Mercedes S Class so it is either specific to LR or to my car.
Does anyone noticed the same behavior?
ps:Search forum function does not seen to work with phrases, this would have been handy for finding passed messages talking about “speed regulator”...
Mine's a 2015, and it definitely does not have speed regulator, only cruise control - that is, it will maintain the set speed when road is flat or uphill, but not when going downhill.

I looked at the documentation for 2016 and 2019. There is a difference in how they talk about downhill speed. The earlier models state that engine braking is what infuences downhill speed. The newer models have this language removed. The same warning that "speed may exceed" is stated, but on my system, it will light up the brakes to slow me down. (I do have the Adaptive version).
We have a 14.5' RRS SC with the adaptive cruise and the down hill speed regulator button in the center console... It will use both the engine and the brakes to keep the Rover at close to the set speed downhill or flat.
Pressing this button (which looks like the “down hill regulator” you are referring to) has the effect to disconnect the cruise control (AAC).... so it is not very convenient...
My mechanic applied a “software update” which seems to be effective somehow. On the same descent with regulator at 52, I now get 56 instead of 60 km/h... (or mph or any exotic way of measuring speed... )
