Operating principle
P
Q
Porsche InnoDrive (PID) is a driver assistance sys-
tem that assists the driver when driving on well-
R
surfaced country roads and highways.
S Using navigation data as well as radar and camera
data, PID detects both the area directly around the
T
vehicle and the route ahead, determines the best
possible driving strategy in advance and adapts the
U
speed accordingly.
V
PID can assist the driver in the following situations:
W
Vehicle driving ahead
X
If a vehicle was detected ahead, PID brakes if the
Y vehicle is driving slower than the set desired speed
and keeps the distance from the vehicle ahead con-
Z
stant in the preselected range. PID can continue
184
braking until your vehicle is stationary and starts
driving again automatically as soon as the vehicle in
front drives off again. A detected vehicle and the fact
that the vehicle has started driving again will be in-
dicated on the instrument cluster.
In bends
Navigation data and vehicle information is used to
adapt the speed to the road ahead.
Tight bends detected in advance are displayed on
the instrument cluster and the speed of the vehicle
is reduced in good time. The speed calculated for the
bend is also indicated by the speed prediction sys-
tem. If no bend ahead warning is displayed, the
speed will only be reduced slightly or will not be re-
duced at all. Vehicle handling in bends is also influ-
enced by the selected drive mode.
At rotary intersections, junctions and on up-
hill and downhill slopes
When navigation is active or when the driver indi-
cates in good time, PID reduces the speed before the
vehicle starts to change direction. A corresponding
display appears on the instrument cluster.
Information
When route guidance is active in the navigation
system, PID always orients itself according to the
proposed route. If route guidance is not active, it
adapts to the most plausible route.
On roads with speed limits
PID uses navigation data and data from cameras
(traffic sign recognition) to automatically detect the
speed limit within the system limits and changes the
desired speed accordingly.
Speed limits detected in advance are displayed on
the instrument cluster and the speed of the vehicle
is reduced in good time. Otherwise, the speed is not
reduced until the vehicle is driving past the detected
traffic sign.
Consideration of speed limits is active automatically
when PID is activated.
At Stop and Yield signs
When approaching Stop and Yield signs, a message
appears on the instrument cluster and the speed is
reduced if the traffic signs are stored in the naviga-
tion data. It is up to the driver, however, to brake the
vehicle to a standstill.
If the driver accidentally continues driving at a Stop
sign, PID switches to passive mode and can be acti-
vated again afterwards by the driver.
If the driver continues driving at a Yield sign, PID re-
mains active, passes the Yield sign at a reduced
speed and accelerates again to the previously set
speed as soon as the traffic situation allows it. The
previously set speed can be resumed again immedi-
ately by pressing RESUME.
