What does LIM mean in Audi cars?
2 Answers
Audi car's "LIM" is the speed limit function button. Here is the relevant information: 1. "LIM" is the speed limit function button. When this function is turned on, the maximum speed can only reach the set limit speed, and the speed will not increase even if the accelerator is pressed further. 2. When the vehicle is stationary, pressing this button will default to a speed limit of 30km/h; when pressed while driving, the current speed value will be set as the speed limit trigger point. Press to turn on, press again to turn off. 3. When the accelerator is pressed less than 95%, the speed will not exceed the set speed. When the set speed is reached, the vehicle will sound an alarm. Pressing the accelerator all the way down can exceed the set speed limit, but the speed limit function will still be effective after releasing the accelerator. The speed limit function can prevent speeding and is a very practical feature.
Recently when driving my Audi, I frequently use the LIM function, which is essentially a speed limiter that can be set either on the steering wheel or through the dashboard menu. For me, it's incredibly convenient – just press the LIM button, then use the scroll wheel to select a maximum speed, say 80 km/h. Whether on highways or entering urban areas, it makes driving much safer. Once the car reaches the preset speed, it automatically restricts the throttle to prevent acceleration, helping me avoid many speeding tickets. I've tested it and found that driving in the city for extended periods also saves some fuel, as this function maintains a more stable speed, reducing fuel-consuming sudden accelerations. Occasionally, when someone cuts in during traffic, I manually deactivate it to accelerate, but overall the experience is excellent. I highly recommend other Audi owners to try it, especially since safety comes first. Remember, during regular maintenance, don’t forget to check the control switch to prevent aging issues from becoming a hassle.
