Cornering support*1
Curve Speed Assist can help the driver to reduce speed ahead of sharper bends if the preset speed for the driver support adaptive cruise control* or Pilot Assist* is estimated as being too high.
The calculation is made using information from map data in the car's satellite navigator Sensus Navigation*. After the bend has been passed, the car resumes the previously preset speed.
In connection with the function reducing the car's speed, this symbol is shown in the driver display.
The driver can cancel the function at any time by choosing to brake or by using the accelerator pedal.
Warning
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual that relate to this function to learn about factors such as its limitations and what the driver should be aware of before using the system.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Drive modes
Assistance during cornering depends on the drive mode set. If the drive mode options are unavailable, the function selects the Comfort option. Using the Dynamic option, the car negotiates bends with sporty characteristics and with slightly more powerful acceleration out of the bends.
