2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sports 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 that 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 limiters 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 last known detected speed limit is used. To activate the speed limiter, see SPEED LIMITER. To activate the adaptive speed limiter, see ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER. Press and hold the CANCEL button on the steering wheel to switch between the speed limiter and the adaptive speed limiter.
Speed limiters are not available when cruise control or adaptive cruise control is in operation. When the vehicle is first switched on, the vehicle reverts to whichever system was used previously.

Press the LIM button on the steering wheel controls to switch the speed limiter function on. The instrument panel displays an information lamp to confirm the speed limiter is selected. 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 is stationary 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 (or 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 (or 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 CANCEL button to suspend the speed limiter operation. Press either the RESUME button or the SET+ button to resume speed limiter operation. Pressing the RESUME 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. Fully press the accelerator pedal to accelerate 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.
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. The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER
Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See SPEED LIMITER SAFETY.
The adaptive speed limiter does not operate if the traffic sign recognition system is not operating. See TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION.
- SET+.
- –.
- RESUME.
- CANCEL.
- LIM.
Press the LIM button on the steering wheel 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 the speed limiter information lamp displays, press and hold the CANCEL button. The adaptive speed limiter information lamp replaces the speed limiter information lamp to confirm that the adaptive speed limiter has been selected. The adaptive speed limiter does not operate until activated. Press the SET+ button or the RESUME button to activate the adaptive speed limiter. The instrument panel and Head-Up Display (HUD) show the detected speed limits as icons. 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 RESUME button to increase the rate of deceleration. If the system detects a speed limit higher than the current vehicle speed, it allows the driver to accelerate up to the speed limit. Press the RESUME button to increase the rate of acceleration. Press the CANCEL button to suspend the adaptive speed limiter operation. Press the RESUME button or the SET+ button to resume the adaptive speed limiter operation. The adaptive speed limiter’s detected speed limit can be overridden if rapid acceleration is required. Fully press the accelerator pedal to accelerate 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 system’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 of 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 – button to lower the maximum vehicle speed by 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 – button to lower the maximum vehicle speed directly to 6 mph (10 km/h) below the detected speed limit.
Any adjustments to the system’s detected speed limit are lost if the speed limiter is activated, or if the vehicle’s electrical systems are switched off.
ADAPTIVE SPEED LIMITER LIMITATIONS
The adaptive speed limiter does not operate if the traffic sign recognition system is unavailable. If the adaptive speed limiter is unavailable the system reverts to standard speed limiter operation using the last detected speed limit. See SPEED LIMITER OVERVIEW.
The adaptive speed limiter:
- Does not recognize speed limits below 19 mph (30 km/h). For detected speed limits below 19 mph (30 km/h), the system sets a speed limit of 19 mph (30 km/h).
- Displays — in the instrument panel if the traffic sign recognition system cannot determine a valid speed limit. The last known valid speed limit is applied if this occurs.
- May allow vehicle speed to 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 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 detected speed limit for 4 seconds, a chime also sounds.
- Performance and accuracy are only as good as the information provided by the traffic sign recognition system and the navigation system. Always make sure the navigation system is operating correctly and is using the latest software.
The instrument panel displays messages to inform the driver of any performance or system issues.
