Extract from the SR22 POH. I have added the bolding

Associated Conditions Affecting Performance
Computed performance data in this section are based upon data derived from actual flight testing with the airplane and engine in good condition and using average piloting techniques. Unless specifically noted in the “Conditions” notes presented with each table, ambient conditions are for a standard day (refer to Section 1). Flap position as well as power setting technique is similarly noted with each table.

The charts in this section provide data for ambient temperatures from -4°F (–20°C) to 104°F (40°C). If ambient temperature is below the chart value, use the lowest temperature shown to compute performance. This will result in more conservative performance calculations. If ambient temperature is above the chart value, use extreme caution as performance degrades rapidly at higher temperatures

and

Demonstrated Operating Temperature
Satisfactory engine cooling has been demonstrated for this airplane with an outside air temperature 23°C above standard. The value given is not considered an operating limitation. Reference should be made to Section 2 for engine operating limitations.
So even though the performance data is only given for temperatures up to 40 degrees the POH wording makes it clear that operation at higher ambient temperatures is not prohibited.
