Volvo XC90: Driver support / Curve Speed Assist (CSA)
(Option/accessory.)
(Depending on market, this function can be either standard or optional.)
Curve Speed Assist can help the driver reduce speed before sharp turns
if the preset speed for the driver support function Adaptive Cruise Control* or
Pilot Assist* is determined to be too high.
As the function reduces the vehicle's
speed, this symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel.
This assessment is performed using information from map data in the vehicle's
navigation system, Sensus Navigation*. After the turn, the vehicle will resume the
previously set speed.
The driver can cancel the function at any time by braking or using the accelerator
pedal.
WARNING
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate
driving and help 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 about
this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention
and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle 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
Cornering assistance varies depending on the selected drive mode. If drive mode
cannot be selected, the function will use the Comfort option. In Dynamic
mode, cornering will be sporty, with slightly more powerful acceleration coming
out of curves.
