Thanks, yes, I do understand it can be overridden. Nevertheless it is pretty clear why this behavior is not available in North America - it would surely lead to lawsuits. And that is not a knock against the feature necessarily, just an observation about the cultural differences in our respective legal climates.
Reading through that thread is enlightening, BTW. I had always wondered what was with the redundant "SET" button since the toggle switch works just fine. It appears they likely added that just to avoid having a blank button in markets that don't have the "LIM" button.
