Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA)

Updated 17/10/2024

Intelligent Speed Assist helps the driver stay below the speed limit by means of different warnings and the option to limit the car's propulsion.

Get to know Intelligent Speed Assist

When the car's speed exceeds the speed limit displayed in the road sign information, Intelligent Speed Assist warns the driver with a warning sound and the icon displaying the speed limit starts to flash. The driver can activate and deactivate the acoustic warning using the left steering wheel button P6-2037-XC40BEV-Steering wheel left buttons, left arrow . The acoustic warning starts a couple of seconds after the speed limit icon starts flashing and depends on how fast the driver is driving. The duration and replay of the warning sound depends on the driver's driving behaviour and can be interrupted if there is an intention to slow down.

Adaptive pedal response

Intelligent Speed Assist's acoustic warning can be replaced by adaptive pedal response, which helps the driver keep to the speed limit by limiting the car's propulsion. Pressing the accelerator pedal more firmly deactivates the function temporarily. You can still use the left steering wheel button P6-2037-XC40BEV-Steering wheel left buttons, left arrow to activate or deactivate the function.

The function is activated in the centre display

When Pilot Assist or Adaptive Cruise Control is used, the acoustic warning cannot be replaced by adaptive pedal response.

Note

Your car is designed to comply with the requirements of the EU Regulation on Intelligent Speed Assistance. The aim of the regulation is to make driving safer with functions that encourage drivers to keep below the legal speed limit.
