PREDICTIVE SPEED ASSIST
HOW DOES PREDICTIVE SPEEDASSIST WORK
Predictive Speed Assist works withadaptive cruise control and adjusts thevehicle speed to the road geometry and tothe speed limit detected by the speed signrecognition system. As the systemidentifies curves and highway exits, thevehicle speed temporarily decreases aheadof and during the changing road geometry.When passing new speed signs, the setspeed updates. See Predictive SpeedAssist Precautions (page 247).
There are limitations that affect theaccuracy of the speed sign recognitionsystem and its ability to determine thecurrent speed limit. Predictive speed assistand its ability to determine the currentspeed limit shares these limitations. SeeSpeed Sign Recognition (page 287).
Note:The adaptive cruise control gapsetting operates normally when the featureis enabled.
