Innovative driver assistance systems
The electric SUV offers Travel Assist. It assimilates different systems and functions. When interconnected, the vehicle makes driving easier and more comfortable. Once activated, Travel Assist offers:
Predictive cruise control: This function reads traffic signs and limits the speed recorded in the navigation system. The speed is adjusted in time, when approaching a curve, an intersection or a traffic circle.
Traffic sign recognition: Equipped with an image processing module, the system processes speed limit signs, overtaking bans, restriction ends, but also prohibited directions and other additional instructions.
Adaptive Lane Assist: Also called Lane Assist, this system warns you if your path is unintentionally deviated. In coordination with a camera, it recognizes road markings, even during construction, traffic cones, etc…
Traffic Jam Assist: To start, brake, and steer the Enyaq Skoda iV, Traffic Jam Assist uses the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistants, and takes its cues from the movement of neighboring vehicles. Your driving will be much easier in traffic jams.
Emergency Assist: Also known as Emergency Assist, this function reduces the risk of an accident. If the adaptive lane keeping system detects that the driver’s hands are not touching the steering wheel, the emergency assistant is activated. The vehicle decelerates to a stop, while remaining in its lane. The hazard warning lights are activated.
