Does a 2019 XC60 Inscription have the ASL function? So far, I have not been able to locate the function. See below.

Automatic Speed Limiter
The Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL) function
helps the driver adapt the vehicle's maximum
speed to the posted speed limits.
The Speed Limiter (SL18) function can be
switched to Automatic Speed Limiter (ASL).
The Automatic Speed Limiter function uses
speed information from the Road Sign Information
function (RSI) to automatically adapt the
vehicle's maximum speed.

 

Obtained the following information from my local Volvo dealer.

"Good Morning Nick. The ASL function on the Volvo is more limited on US spec vehicles than European vehicles. Here, the car does not physically reduce your speed to the posted limit, it simply gives you notifications and alerts via flashing the posted speed limit sign indicator on your dash and giving you a low vibration in your steering wheel. As stated on your email attachment, only the European spec vehicles reduce your speed. Hope this helps!"

 

Hey, it sure does, see my photo, you need to click first the LEFT button, then click the MIDDLE button, reply back if not clear, or not working. Note: you need to click this on every time you use the car, you can't leave it on (unfortunately), cheers, Dan

 

Ah that's interesting to know.

What I will say though is it's not comfortable when it does it, I guess it's not the cars fault. Here is the Scenario 1:

1) I'm driving 50km along, in a 50 zone, all good
2) I go through a crossroads where I have right or way, but the crossing road is only a 30km limit
3) the car slams down the brake from 50km to 30km, much to the surprise of me and whoever is behind me
4) I hit the accelator to pump it up to 50km and get the heck out of there
5) I end up flying past 50km and defeat the point of the whole thing
​​​​​​As said, it's not often, but enough to make me think twice when using it.

Scenario 2 (whilst we are here, sorry for the long text)

1) I'm rocking along the motorway enjoying 120km
2) the car somehow detects that it's not in a 100km zone, and slams on the brakes (there are no signs, no roadworks, no-one else is slowing down)
3) 1 month later, there are roadworks in the same place, with a 100km maximum speed
​​​​​​
I've then wondered, why? and how?!

For why: I guess it's either from previous roadworks (they often block off the sides to cut back the overgrowing trees etc)
The how: a central database? It's not reading the signs because they're aren't any.

Or... from newly planned roadworks which were already added to a central database?

Really, I'm guessing, would be interested if someone knows more about this for why and how it works.
