When using cruise control I notice the car has an incorrect cruise control settings for Belgium.

It used to be 90kmh outside of cities.
This changed in Flanders in 2017 and in Brussels more recently. There it was reduced to 70kmh.
In the southern part of the country it didn't change and is still 90.

It seems the car does not know of this difference ? Or not always?

When I'm in a city on cruise control the limit is 50 kmh, and the car detects the out of city center sign, I've had a few times it'll set speed to 90.
Often a little further there's a sign indicating 70 but not always..
And the change from 50 to 90 makes the car accelerate quickly.

It will change to what the sign says. If the sign is wrong, that's not the car's fault. You can turn that feature off anytime you want in the settings.

The sign isn't wrong - it doesn't indicate a speed. It indicates you're leaving the city center.

It looks like this:

The car recognises this sign correct but defaults to the wrong speed (90kmh).

I would expect that an update needs to be made either to the Navigation or the car. Or turn off the recognition.

Sounds like you need to move out of Belgium.
