2022 Jaguar F-TYPE Speed Limiter
SPEED LIMITER SAFETY
Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using a speed limiter. Failure to use the speed limiter safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
Speed limiters are driving aids only. Always drive with due care and attention, and in a manner which is safe for the vehicle, its occupants, and other road users. The driver should still observe all road signs, road markings, and situations that are not detected or recognized by the speed limiter systems. Driving without due care and attention greatly increases the risk of an accident.
In certain conditions, such as a steep downhill slope, the vehicle’s speed may exceed the set speed limit. Driver intervention may be required. Driving at speeds above the set speed limit may infringe on local laws.
Speed limiters are convenience features only. Speed limiters do not remove the driver’s responsibility to adhere to the legal road speed limit.
SPEED LIMITER OVERVIEW
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See SPEED LIMITER SAFETY.
Two types of speed limiter are available:
- Speed limiter.
- Adaptive speed limiter.
The speed limiter allows the driver to manually restrict the maximum vehicle speed. When a maximum speed limit is set, the vehicle responds normally until the set speed is reached. At this point, the vehicle stops accelerating.
The adaptive speed limiter works in conjunction with the traffic sign recognition system and the navigation system to restrict the maximum vehicle speed. The maximum speed is set, based on the information received from both of these systems. If the system cannot determine a valid maximum speed, the adaptive speed limiter is deactivated and the speed limiter is activated.
Press the LIM button on the steering wheel to switch the speed limiter function on.
When the vehicle’s ignition is first switched on, and the speed limiter function is selected, speed limiter always displays first. Press and hold the CAN button on the steering wheel to switch between the speed limiter and the adaptive speed limiter.
To activate the speed limiter, see SPEED LIMITER.
To activate the adaptive speed limiter, see ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER.
Speed limiters are not available when cruise control is in operation. When the vehicle’s ignition is first switched on, the vehicle reverts to whichever system was used previously.

Press the LIM button to toggle between the speed limiter and cruise control functions. The instrument panel displays an information lamp that confirms the speed limiter has been selected. See SPEED LIMITER (AMBER).
The speed limiter does not operate until activated. To activate the speed limiter:
- Press the SET+ button. The vehicle’s speed is now limited to the speed it was traveling at when the button was pressed. If the vehicle speed is below the minimum limit speed when the SET+ button is pressed, the system sets the speed limit to 19 mph (30 km/h).
- Press and hold the SET+ button to increase the speed limiter’s set speed in 5 mph (10 km/h) steps. Press and release the SET+ button to increase the speed limiter’s set speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Press and hold the – button to lower the speed limiter’s set speed in 5 mph (10 km/h) steps. Press and release the – button to lower the speed limiter’s set speed by 1 mph (2 km/h).
Press the CAN button to suspend speed limiter operation. Press either the RES button or the SET+ button to resume speed limiter operation. Pressing the RES button activates the previous set speed. Pressing the SET+ button limits the vehicle’s speed to the speed it is traveling at when the button is pressed.
The speed limiter’s set speed can be overridden if rapid acceleration is required. Rapid acceleration is also known as kickdown. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
If kickdown is required, the vehicle accelerates past the speed limiter’s set speed. When the vehicle’s speed drops below the speed limiter’s set speed, any speed limitations are reapplied.
To override the speed limiter, fully press the accelerator pedal.
SPEED LIMITER LIMITATIONS
The driver may notice the effects of the speed limiter, if the vehicle’s speed is close to the set speed limit.
If the vehicle’s speed is more than 19 mph (30km/h) above a previous limit speed, the instrument panel displays a warning message.
ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See SPEED LIMITER SAFETY.
Speed limiters are convenience features only. Speed limiters do not remove the driver’s responsibility to adhere to the legal road speed limit.
The adaptive speed limiter does not operate if the traffic sign recognition system is not operating. See TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION.

Press the LIM button to switch the adaptive speed limiter on. Depending on vehicle status, the instrument panel displays either the speed limiter or the adaptive speed limiter information lamp. If speed limiter is displayed, press and hold the CAN button. The speed limiter information lamp is replaced with the adaptive speed limiter information lamp to confirm that the adaptive speed limiter has been selected. See SPEED LIMITER (AMBER).
The adaptive speed limiter does not operate until activated. Press the SET+ button or the RES button to activate the adaptive speed limiter. The instrument panel displays the detected speed limit as an icon.
The adaptive speed limiter can also be switched on and off via the Driver Assistance instrument panel menu. If cruise control is in operation, this option is grayed-out in the instrument panel. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
If the adaptive speed limiter detects a speed limit lower than the current vehicle speed, it automatically slows the vehicle to meet the speed limit. Press the RES button to increase the rate of deceleration.
If the adaptive speed limiter detects a speed limit higher than the current vehicle speed, it allows the driver to accelerate up to the speed limit. Press the RES button to increase the rate of acceleration.
Press the CAN button to suspend adaptive speed limiter operation. Press the RES button or the SET+ button to resume adaptive speed limiter operation.
When the adaptive speed limiter is active, the vehicle’s speed may increase in certain conditions, e.g., when traveling downhill. If the vehicle’s speed rises by more than 2 mph (3.5 km/h) above the adaptive speed limiter detected speed limit, the instrument panel displays a warning message. If the vehicle’s speed rises by more than 5 mph (7 km/h) above the adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit for 4 seconds, a chime also sounds.
The adaptive speed limiter detected speed limit can be overridden if rapid acceleration is required. Rapid acceleration is also known as kickdown. See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
If kickdown is required, the vehicle accelerates past the adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit. When the vehicle’s speed drops below the adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit, any speed limitations are reapplied.
The adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit can be adjusted, if required, to control the vehicle’s speed at just above or below the detected speed limit. To adjust the detected speed limit:
- Press the SET+ button to raise the maximum vehicle speed 1 mph (2 km/h) above the detected speed limit. The maximum increase available is 6 mph (10 km/h) above the detected speed limit. Press and hold the SET+ button to raise the maximum vehicle speed directly to 6 mph (10 km/h) above the detected speed limit.
- Press the SET- button to lower the maximum vehicle speed 1 mph (2 km/h) below the detected speed limit. The maximum decrease available is 6 mph (10 km/h) below the detected speed limit. Press and hold the SET- button to lower the maximum vehicle speed directly to 6 mph (10 km/h) below the detected speed limit.
Any adjustments to the adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit are lost if the speed limiter is activated, or the vehicle’s ignition is switched off.
If the traffic sign recognition system cannot determine a valid speed limit, it displays – – –. If this occurs, the adaptive speed limiter remains set at the last known valid speed limit. If the traffic sign recognition system is unable to detect a valid speed limit within a short period of time, the adaptive speed limiter is deactivated. If this occurs, the speed limiter is activated.
ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER LIMITATIONS
The following adaptive speed limiter operating limitations apply:
- Adaptive speed limiter performance and accuracy are only as good as the information provided to it by the traffic sign recognition system. See TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION.
- Adaptive speed limiter performance and accuracy are only as good as the information provided to it by the navigation system. Always make sure the system is operating correctly and has the latest software. See MAP UPDATES.
- The maximum speed limit recognized by the adaptive speed limiter is 80 mph (130 km/h). For any detected speeds above this figure, the adaptive speed limiter sets an unlimited maximum speed.
- The minimum speed limit recognized by the adaptive speed limiter is 19 mph (30 km/h). For any detected speeds below this figure, the adaptive speed limiter sets a speed limit of 19 mph (30 km/h). The instrument panel displays the message Speed limit is below LIM range.
