I didn't know it did that in heading mode. But 250 kts on LOC capture, That's a bit sporty isn't it? How do you avoid overshooting and get configured and stable with that intercept speed?
There is a chart in the FCOM which shows distance, intercept angle and speed combinations within which LOC capture is possible. It could be a useful referance for making up your own rules of thumb.
