What does LIM mean?

In automobiles, the LIM button stands for the speed limit function. When this button is pressed while the vehicle is stationary, the speed limit function is activated. Below are specific details about the speed limit function: Overview of the speed limit function: The speed limit system was first introduced as a standard feature in the European-spec F10. This system can limit the vehicle speed to between 30-230 km/h. When the speed is below the set limit, the vehicle can operate normally. Similar to traditional cruise control systems, the speed limit system uses the engine control system and automatic transmission control system to regulate speed, effectively reducing the torque output requested by the driver. Exceeding the speed limit: If the vehicle speed exceeds the set limit, the system will issue a warning. In situations such as downhill driving where the speed reaches or exceeds the set limit, the active braking mode will not be engaged. If a speed limit lower than the current speed is set while driving, the vehicle will coast until the speed drops below the set limit.
In my years of driving experience, LIM typically refers to the car's speed limiter function. It automatically controls the vehicle speed when you're not paying attention, preventing speeding violations. For example, on highways or in urban speed-limited zones, I don't have to worry about pressing the accelerator too hard and getting fined after activating it. This feature is mainly integrated into the dashboard or steering wheel controls, and most modern cars have it. I remember finding it quite convenient when I first used it, and later I couldn't do without it once I got used to it. It not only saves me worry but also helps me save fuel, leading to significant cost savings over time. Maintenance is also simple—just regular checks of the dashboard display, with no extra hassle. In short, LIM is a great assistant for daily driving, especially suitable for long-distance trips or novice drivers.
