2022 XC90 Volvo Cornering support
Cornering support
Curve Speed Assist can help the driver to reduce speed ahead of sharper bends if the preselected speed for the driver support adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist is estimated as being too high.
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.
