Same as cruise control, the limiter disengages when you floor the accelerator pedal.

  It doesn't in my car (Nissan Qashqai). You can floor it and it will accelerate up to the limiter's setpoint and stay there. It would kind of defeat the point of it to disengage in this situation. I use it in 30 and 40mph zones, where there's a lot of traffic, speed cameras etc., and sticking the limiter on means you're not going to go over the limit.

    From the first user manual I found with Google: "It is also possible to override the speed limiter by fully depressing the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point." https://www.qashqaiforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4256 https://www.qashqaiforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4256

      Interesting. I've not seen this happen in practice though (and I have tested it). I'll have to try pushing it right to the limit, which I don't normally do in 30 zones. Mine's a 2015 model; I don't know if there's any variation with earlier models' behaviour.

        I tried it out today. It does disengage, but only at the very limit, which is why I must not have noticed it before. And when it does disengage, it surges forward disconcertingly fast, so I'm not too convinced by its usefulness or safety.
