Stop Control / HW 3

Trafiklys- og stopskiltkontrol er beregnet til at registrere og reagere på trafiklys og stopskilte og sætte bilens hastighed ned for at stoppe, når du bruger den adaptive fartpilot eller autostyring. Denne funktion sætter bilens hastighed ned ved alle registrerede trafiklys, også grønt lys, blinkende lys og slukkede lys. Når bilen nærmer sig et kryds, angiver den intentionen om at sætte hastigheden ned i form af en meddelelse, sætter farten ned og stopper ved den røde linje i kørevisualiseringen.

For at fortsætte over stoplinjen skal du trække i autopilotarmen en enkelt gang eller træde kortvarigt på speederen for at bekræfte, at det er sikkert at fortsætte. Som det er tilfældet ved alle autopilotfunktioner, skal du hele tiden være opmærksom, klar til at skride til handling øjeblikkeligt og evt. bremse, da denne funktion muligvis ikke stopper for alle trafiksignaler. Denne funktion er forsigtig, sætter ofte farten ned i starten og forsøger ikke at dreje i kryds. Efterhånden som vi lærer af flåden, kommer denne funktion til at fungere mere naturligt.

Stop Control / HW 3

Funktionen Trafiklys- og stopskiltkontrol kræver ikke længere, at føreren udtrykkeligt bekræfter ved at trække i autopilotarmen for at fortsætte ved grønt lys, når der er et køretøj foran. Stoplinjen i kørevisualiseringen bliver nu grøn som angivelse af, at bilen fortsætter gennem et vejkryds.

Du skal stadig være opmærksom og være klar til straks at skride til handling og evt. bremse, da denne funktion muligvis ikke stopper for alle trafiksignaler. Denne funktion forsøger ikke at dreje i vejkryds, men efterhånden som vi lærer af flåden, kommer denne funktion til at fungere mere naturligt.
