Kia Telluride 2023 Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA)
The Kia Telluride 2023 is a mid-size SUV that offers a range of advanced safety features, one of which is the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) system. This feature is designed to help drivers stay within the posted speed limit by using a front-mounted camera to detect and read speed limit signs on the road. Once the ISLA system has detected the speed limit, it compares the information to the vehicle’s speedometer reading. If the driver is exceeding the posted speed limit, the system provides a visual and audible alert to remind them to slow down. The ISLA system can also take action to help the driver stay within the speed limit. For instance, it can adjust the vehicle’s speed by reducing engine power or applying the brakes. Additionally, the ISLA system is designed to work together with other safety features, such as the Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) system. If the FCA system detects a potential collision, the ISLA system can automatically apply the brakes to slow the vehicle down to a safe speed. In summary, the Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) system in the Kia Telluride 2023 is a vital safety feature that helps drivers avoid accidents and stay safe on the road. It provides visual and audible alerts and takes action to adjust the vehicle’s speed, giving drivers the confidence they need to drive safely.
