Can the Volvo speed limit of 180 be turned off?

It can be turned off. You need to read the anti-theft password and then match the key. Here are the specific details of the Volvo S90: Model Positioning: As a minor facelift for the year, the Volvo S90 has added two new sport versions. Configuration: Significant improvements have been made to mid-to-high-end models. Taking the Zhì Yuǎn version as an example, compared to the current model, it adds practical configurations such as leather-wrapped dashboard, electric adjustment for front seat cushion length, enhanced air purification system, electric side window sunshades, rear windshield sunshade, and automatic parking system. Power: It continues to use the low/high-power Drive-E series 2.0T turbocharged engine, where T4 corresponds to low power, outputting 139kW (190PS), and T5 corresponds to high power, outputting 186kW (254PS), paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission.
As someone who has long studied automotive performance, I'm very familiar with Volvo's 180 km/h speed limiter. Users cannot disable this feature directly in the vehicle because it's a safety measure hard-coded into the vehicle's electronic system. While professional software via the OBD port can remove the speed limit, this operation must be performed by authorized Volvo service points or technical specialists and involves modifying the ECU control unit, which may carry risks. I believe the speed limiter design reflects Volvo's core philosophy - protecting lives, as accident fatality rates increase dramatically beyond 180 km/h. Moreover, disabling speed limiters is illegal in many countries and may void warranties and complicate insurance claims. If you truly desire high-speed driving, it's better to experience it legally on professional racetracks - both safe and satisfying. Remember, safety is more important than speed; maintaining reasonable speeds for daily driving is sufficient.
