How to Cancel the Set Speed Limit on Volkswagen Lavida?

[VanPresley]

To cancel the set speed limit on a Volkswagen Lavida, follow these steps: 1. Press the two buttons on the right side of the wiper switch; 2. Switch the dashboard display interface; 3. When the speed limit interface is displayed, press the OK button below the wiper switch to cancel it. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum power of 110kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I remember dealing with this speed alert feature when I drove my Volkswagen Lavida before. Actually, canceling it is quite simple. First, press the menu button on the steering wheel to bring up the menu on the dashboard's small screen. Then use the up and down buttons to find the "Speed Warning" option and enter it. At this point, you'll see the currently set value - just select the "Off" option and press confirm to complete the process. If there's no off option in the menu, then adjust the speed value to its maximum, like 180km/h, which basically prevents the alert from triggering. Operations may vary slightly between different model years, with newer models locating this under "Vehicle Settings". This feature is actually quite useful - I used to set it at 120km/h on highways to remind myself not to speed. The main reason for canceling is just for peace and quiet, but safe driving should always come first.

Having driven several Lavida models, turning off the speed warning is actually quite convenient. After parking, press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel, scroll to the settings interface, and find the speed alert option. Here you can turn off the sound alert or disable the entire function. I remember once I accidentally set it to beep at 80 km/h, which was particularly annoying when driving in the city. Later, I found out that the volume button on the left side of the steering wheel could directly switch to the settings interface. If you set it incorrectly by mistake, turning off and restarting the engine can temporarily reset it. Newer models now also have driving mode options, and switching to sport mode automatically turns off safety reminders. But be reminded, after turning it off, the yellow LIM indicator on the dashboard disappears, making it easier to speed on highways. Speeding tickets are much more troublesome than turning off the reminder.

Last time I drove my friend's Lavida, I was confused by the speed warning that beeped whenever I exceeded 70 km/h. After some research, I found that you need to press the VIEW button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu, then switch left or right to the page with the car icon. Select the speed warning option and click to turn it off. If you really can't find it, there's another simple method: use the SET button of the cruise control to set a higher speed to override it. Once I did this, I noticed the 'LIM' indicator on the dashboard disappeared. However, this feature is actually quite useful—having a speed limit reminder in the city helps prevent speeding. Later, I changed the minimum speed setting to 60 km/h and turned it back on.

I often commute with my Lavida, and turning off the speed limit reminder is just two steps: first, briefly press the menu button on the steering wheel to activate the settings interface, then locate the speed limit function icon. At this point, use the up and down arrows on the steering wheel to adjust to the OFF position. For models after the 2019 version, you can also disable this function in the vehicle settings interface on the touchscreen. By the way, the Lavida's speed limit reminder and cruise control are two separate systems; turning off the former won't affect the cruise function. Once, while helping a friend adjust the settings, I noticed that after turning it off, the LIM indicator light next to the wiper went out, but the engine still automatically limits speed protectively during rapid acceleration—this factory setting cannot be changed.

How to cancel the speed limit alert on Lavida: First, press the VIEW button on the steering wheel twice to enter the instrument cluster menu. Find the item with the speedometer icon. Inside, you'll see three options: set new speed, turn off alert, adjust sensitivity. After selecting 'turn off', the yellow LIM indicator on the dashboard will disappear. Special reminder: models with ACC need to operate on the central control screen, following the path 'Settings - Driving Assistance System'. Older models may not have the option to turn it off, in which case you can only increase the limit to 200 km/h. This function is a factory safety strategy, and completely disabling it requires ECU flashing, but I don't recommend doing this since speed cameras don't care whether you have the reminder function on or not.
