Adjust speed limiter

Adjust speed limiter
I am an old feller new to forums, so please forgive me if I breach any protocols. I have a 2015 Jaguar XK and would like to bump up the speed limiter a bit. It cuts the engine out around 95 mph and startled me the first time when passing two semi trucks on the lonely Nevada highway. Can I do it myself or do I need to go to a specialist? I live in Cave Creek, AZ.

Larry, there's no way the speed limiter should cut in at 95, I've taken my 2014 XKR to 125 without incident and so should you be able to.
So questions
1) did you buy new?
2) How long have you owned?
3) Fully service history?
4) When last serviced?
5) Warranty?
As said at the start, your limit should be 155, so cutting out at 95 seems a little odd and somethings definitely wrong

Correct, the Speed Limiter doesn't do anything at less than 155 mph.
Now, if you were using paddles to pass and were in Sport mode, then the engine Redline may have been met.
What would engine revs be at 95 mph in probably third gear? Right around 6500 I'd think, so that may be one thing.
Other than that, there should be No Reason whatsoever that you would have had any problem...... unless you DO have a problem, like a broken car.
I think maybe you should try again, and make sure you don't hit redline while in SPORT mode.

Read this as it might be the problem. https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...-drive-column/
Well if THAT is the case, Works As Advertised. As far as what the Factory Max was set at, I'd say disable the thing and forget that it's there.

Larry,
You have a button on the center console labeled ASL.
Its set your limit at 95.
Read about it here in the owners manual page 158

Thank Graham for hosting the owner's manual on his account. Its incredible that Jaguar wont do the same.

Also a few seconds with the throttle in the kick down position just past full throttle and will over ride the ASL.

That position on the center console is really a key place for such a stupid function...

Or if it's snowing a bit, and the car states "ACC SENSOR BLOCKED", disabling cruise control completely...
