Get Driver assist systems -> Speed limiter with predictive control Guide for Volkswagen ID.7 4 Door First Generation (2023-2025)

Introduction to the topic

The predictive speed limiter automatically adapts a maximum speed that you have stored to detected speed limits.

The predictive speed limiter is an extension of the speed limiter and makes use of Dynamic Road Sign Display and the

navigation data provided in the Infotainment system.

The predictive speed limiter is dependent on the vehicle equipment and is not available in all countries.

WARNING

The predictive speed limiter cannot replace the driver’s attention and operates only within the limits of the system.

The predictive speed limiter cannot detect all applicable speed limits and may not react or may react with a delay or

in an undesired way. If you do not pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is responsible for the stored

vehicle speed at all times.

● Observe the system limits (→ Speed limiter with predictive control).

● Ensure that your speed is always appropriate for the current visibility, weather and road/traffic conditions.

● Keep the navigation data up-to-date.

● Always observe the maximum speed limit.

● Please note that the speeds regulated by the system do not necessarily correspond to your driving style.

Please also observe the safety-relevant information on the speed

limiter.

The system also uses navigation data even if the vehicle does not have a navigation system. Keep the

navigation data up-to-date (→ Navigation). If you have any questions, please contact a suitably qualified

workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.

System limits of predictive control

In addition to the system limits of the Dynamic Road Sign Display, the predictive speed limiter has the following

additional, system-related limits:

—The predictive speed limiter detects only road signs that show a speed limit.

—Road signs that indicate a speed limit indirectly, e.g. place-name signs, will be detected only on the basis of the

navigation data.

—If a speed limit is announced on the basis of the navigation data but is not detected by the Dynamic Road Sign

Display function, the announced speed will be reset to the last-stored speed.

—The predictive speed limiter is not available for detected speed limits below around 30 km/h(around 20 mph). A

corresponding text message is shown on the instrument cluster display in this case.

Joining and leaving motorways

—When you join a motorway, the recommended speed or the maximum permitted speed will automatically be stored

as the speed, depending on country.

—Predictive control will be deactivated when you leave a motorway.

Function limitations

In the following situations, it is possible that the predictive speed limiter will not change the stored speed or will

change it with a delay or in an unexpected way:

—There is a fault in the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.

—The navigation data is out-of-date.

—You are driving without route guidance.

—You leave the route calculated by the navigation system.

—The vehicle position cannot be determined correctly due to imprecise GPS data.

Activating predictive control

1. Open the Assist systems menu in the Infotainment system.

2. Select the speed limiter.

3. Switch on the reaction to permitted speeds.

4. Switch on the speed limiter and start control (→ Speed limiter).

233

Driving with predictive control

Displays

The system has detected a speed limit on the route.

The system has stored the detected speed limit and performs control interventions accordingly.

Cancelling speed adaptation

If you do not want to adopt an announced speed, you can cancel speed adaptation:

—Press the

button.

Or: release the accelerator pedal twice and then press it again.

The last-stored speed is resumed again.

— Press the

button.

The current speed is adopted.

—Press the

button.

System control is interrupted.

Bringing forward speed adaptation

As soon as a higher speed than the currently stored speed is announced in the instrument cluster display, you can

prioritise speed adaptation:

— Press the button or swipe over the button from bottom to top.

Or: release the accelerator pedal twice and then press it again.

Adjusting the announced speed

+ 1 km/h (1 mph):

Gently press the button.

- 1 km/h (1 mph):

Gently press the button.

+ 10 km/h (5 mph):

Strongly press the button or swipe over the button from bottom to top. The first time it is pressed, it jumps to

the next higher ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment.

- 10 km/h (5 mph):

Strongly press the button or swipe over the button from top to bottom. The first time it is pressed, it jumps

to the next lower ten (km/h) or five (mph) increment

If you adjust the announced speed excessively, predictive control will be terminated.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive control function will adjust the stored speed even if the speed

limiter is not regulating.

If the current speed significantly exceeds a speed limit detected by the Dynamic Road Sign Display function, a

warning will appear on the instrument cluster display.

234

Troubleshooting

A message is displayed that the predictive speed limiter is currently not available or is not

available in your country

1. If this message is displayed for an extended period and the predictive speed limiter is available in your country,

go to a correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership.

Depending on the malfunction, additional information may be displayed in the vehicle status (→ Digital

instrument cluster (Pro)).
