In connection with the function reducing the car’s speed, this symbol is shown in the driver display.
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.
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.
Activating and deactivating cornering support
(Option/accessory)
The cornering support function can be activated as a complement to the adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist. The driver can also choose to deactivate the function.
Activate or deactivate the function using this button in the centre display’s function view.
- Illuminated button – the function is activated.
- Extinguished button – the function is deactivated.
During subsequent engine starting, the last used setting is reactivated or settings are followed that were made in the driver profile linked to the key used.
Limitations for cornering support
(Option/accessory)
Cornering support may have limited functionality in certain situations. A driver should be aware about the following examples of limitations.
- Cornering support may have limited performance on smaller roads and in built-up areas.
- On slip roads or intersections, the cornering support may be switched off temporarily.
- If the satellite navigator map data is not updated, cornering support may have limited functionality.
- If the satellite navigator does not have contact with the satellite system, cornering support may have limited functionality.
- On new or rebuilt roads, map data may be incorrect.
- When calculating a suitable cornering speed, any risk of reduced traction due to adverse weather or road conditions is not included.
Note
This function uses the car’s camera and radar units, which have certain general limitations.
