I knew speedo's these days had to be conservative by regulation but by 4 km/h at highway speed ???

That is exactly the correct way it is legally required to operate. The speedo cannot be less than the actual speed. They are set for about a 4 kmh difference so if your speedo says 100 kmh you are actually doing about 96. Totally normal.

There are many other comments on the error / inaccuracy of the D4 speedo (factory set I believe) on this site in numerous threads.:(
