Hi everybody,
The strangest thing happened today when I had to brake quickly to prevent another vehicle from entering my lane.
The green LIM light then illuminated while losing a significant amount of power. In reality, after the LIM light turned on, I was unable to accelerate above 40 km/h.
Why would the car enter Limp mode following a hard stop, assuming that Limp mode was in use?
This feature, which sets a speed limits to prevent you from unintentionally exceeding it, has nothing to do with limp mode.
On your steering wheel, do you have a LIM button? I’m going to assume that you pressed it by accident.
Since I’ve had the car for seven months and have never utilized the cruise control, I just assumed this was a feature of the CC.
not even aware of the LIM button. I recently had to put on my reading glasses. Lol
I tried the lim function once by setting it (like cruise control) and flooring it, but it just pulled past it. I’ve never figured out how to use it.
I didn’t bother reading about all the technical gadgets; instead, I focused on the key features, such as Sports/Sports+/MDM and Launch mode.
It is a very helpful button that is primarily present in German cars that allows you to set a speed limit, particularly for highway driving. When you reach the desired speed, simply hit lim to activate it.
By stomping on the accelerator, LIM can be disabled. Most likely a safety feature, in case an emergency arises and you need to move more quickly.
My Mercedes has that feature, which is quite helpful when driving in the United Kingdom, where there are a lot of speed cameras; but, my M2 doesn’t have it.
Some automobiles have SET while others have LIM. based on the options and region. If you don’t like what you have, you can code in the alternative.

It is the limit-of-speed button. Press the lim button to keep your car moving at the pace indicated by the speed limit sign when you are on the road. It won’t travel faster than the posted limit.

But after reading the owner’s manual, I discovered that the “lim” feature will establish a speed cap that the vehicle cannot go above. Use the “accelerator and brake pedal,” it adds.
In addition, the table of contents makes no mention of the “lim” function. The goal of the “lim” function needs to be further investigated.
BMW dashboards have a “lim” setting that serves as a speed limiter. Press the lim button to keep your car moving at the pace indicated by the speed limit sign when you reach one. It won’t travel faster than the posted limit. Use the accelerator and brake pedals if you wish to go faster or slower than the posted speed limit. Hope this is useful!
On the BMW cruise control, what is Lim?
Hello, I recently FDL coded my car’s LIM function (Limit), and I adore it. It’s comparable to Cruise Control but with a different twist. With cruise control, you can select a speed that will be maintained until you brake or turn it off.
What does Lim mean on a BMW?
The steering wheel contains the LIM button. It is the limit-of-speed button. It causes your car to slow down to the predetermined limit. For instance, if it is 20, the car will only travel at 20 mph. Even with the accelerator pressed, the vehicle maintains a 20-mile pace.
Can you remove the speed restriction from a BMW?
No one is able to possess the software necessary to remove the speed governor or limiter. It is unchangeable. It’s a component of bootmod3 and, presumably, MHD’s F series flash when it launches in December. My M Sport 335 is capable of exceeding 155 mph.
Why is there a speed limiter on the BMW?
In order to prevent the TUV from interfering with their business and imposing stricter speed limitations on the vehicles, BMW, Audi, and MBZ have reached a “gentleman’s agreement” to limit the top speed of their vehicles to 155.
Can you disable the speed limits?
You won’t need to pay to have one placed in your motor just yet, according to ETSC, which has certified that these devices don’t require retrofitting. Is it permitted to remove a speed limiter?
You can turn off the speed limiter on your car. The speed limiter cannot be turned off permanently, though, as it will turn back on the next time you start the engine.
The ability to turn it off in the future may likewise be eliminated by the authorities.
It is hoped that by putting a speed restriction device and leaving it on by default, more drivers will use the technology and road safety will increase.
Even though the speed limiter is activated, there are several situations in which you can disable it. As an illustration, consider overtaking on a route with a reduced speed restriction.
The car should automatically begin to slow down after warning you. You can disable the mechanism and finish the maneuver safely by applying heavy acceleration.
The system ought to emit a warning tone and flash a visual alert if you continue to go beyond the posted speed limit. Once the driver reaches the speed limit, the alarms turn off.
Are speed limits revocable?
To cut a long tale short, yes, there are techniques for turning off the speed limits in your car. The engine computer in your car can have its operations changed, much as most computers. But doing it isn’t always simple.
Unbelievably, some cars come equipped with means of getting around the governor. When the Nissan GT-GPS R’s system recognizes that you have driven it to a racetrack, the vehicle will automatically increase its top speed. Returning to our earlier example, the new Ford Mustang features a programmable max speed that enables parents to set limits on how quickly their young drivers may travel [source: Ford].
All right, that’s great, but how do you actually disable a speed limiter? The engine computer can now be reprogrammed or aftermarket performance chips are available in many cars nowadays, changing the engine’s performance. Depending on the tuner’s preferences, these adjustments may increase an engine’s power or fuel efficiency. The speed limits may also be removed as part of that programming.
Although each car is unique and you can learn how to do it on your own with a little Internet research, keep in mind that it might not always be the safest course of action. Additionally, make sure your driving abilities and tires are suitable before continuing.
My cruise control needs to be reset.
The plug-and-play model I have just requires that I solder one wire to the red ignition wire after plugging everything else in. still don’t work, but the green light comes on when I press the on button.
The cruise control on my 2003 B 2300 Mazda does not function. It might once in a while. The ABS light also turns on! Should I check my fuses, and if so, where are they located?
Simply depressing the brake pedal for one second while driving with the gas pedal fully depressed will reset the cruise control, allowing it to function normally once more.
My speed limitation light is on, why?
These are the symbols for the Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) Indicator and the Speed Limiter. They light when a speed has been set and the limiter is activated. Until the specified speed is attained, it will appear in green before turning yellow or amber.
The definition of Lim mode
The security function in cars known as “limp mode,” or “limp home mode,” engages when the engine or gearbox control unit detects a fault. When a fault is detected, limp mode will limit the vehicle’s speed and turn off less crucial components, such as the air conditioning. This will help the automobile “limp home” and guarantee that the malfunction doesn’t result in anything serious. The limp mode feature is intended to alert you to problems with your car’s mechanisms that could be dangerous and that need to be rectified right away.
What does “Lim light” refer to?
This symbol means that the cruise control in your car is engaged.
