How to Remove the Speed Limit Warning on the Lavida Engine?

Method to Cancel Speed Limit on Volkswagen Lavida: There are two buttons on the far right of the wiper switch, which can be used to toggle the instrument display interface. When switched to the speed limit interface, press the OK button below the wiper switch to cancel it. More details about the electronic speed limiter are as follows: 1. The function of the electronic speed limiter is to restrict excessive speed and prevent accidents caused by high speed. The electronic speed limiter can monitor the vehicle's speed in real-time. When the speed reaches a certain value, it will control the fuel supply system and the engine's RPM. At this point, even if the accelerator pedal is pressed, the fuel supply system will not deliver fuel. The critical value of the electronic speed limiter is preset during vehicle manufacturing and generally cannot be changed. 2. Abroad, the default maximum speed of cars is limited to 250 km/h, while in China, since most domestic vehicles have a maximum speed of just over 200 km/h—many not even reaching 200 km/h—most do not come with an electronic speed limiter. Unless the vehicle's ECU is reprogrammed and some minor adjustments are made, it might be possible to truly remove the electronic speed limiter. However, doing so could potentially introduce risks that might cause certain damages to the vehicle.
Ah, I often encounter this issue with my Lavida - the engine speed limit warning pops up, which is super annoying. This usually indicates a problem with the emission system, such as a loose fuel cap or a clogged DPF. First, try turning off the engine and waiting for 5 minutes before restarting; sometimes temporary faults will disappear. If that doesn't work, head to the 4S shop immediately to check the fault codes. They can read and clear the error codes with a scanner. If the problem persists, it might be a faulty sensor that needs replacement. Pay attention to regular maintenance while driving daily, and don't ignore it, otherwise the car will be speed-limited and fuel consumption will increase. Regularly cleaning the intake tract and changing the engine oil can prevent similar problems, saving you frequent trips to the repair shop.
I remember the last time my car showed a speed limit warning, I was really panicked because the speed was suddenly limited to 60 km/h. A simple solution is to plug in an OBD diagnostic tool to clear the code yourself—you can buy one on Taobao for just a few dozen yuan. If you don't have the tool, take it to a repair shop and let the technician handle it; they can clear it in two minutes. To prevent this, check if the air filter and spark plugs are aging. Always refuel at reputable gas stations to avoid impurities clogging the system. Ignoring this issue not only affects driving but could also trigger major repairs—I eventually fixed it by replacing the oxygen sensor. After parking, try turning off and restarting the engine; sometimes it provides temporary relief.
