Skoda Club Italia

I live in Sweden and I have a Karoq that was built in week 51 of 2020 and it has PCC... and after a few weeks of trying to drive with it, I had to turn it off.

 

Here are the reasons:

- When the car approaches a roundabout, then it lowers its speed way too much and goes really slow around it.

- It uses speed limit data from the camera above the mirror with conjunction of preloaded data for the segments of the public road network with specific speed limit (GPC + preloaded data), so sometimes you get wrong readings or the preloaded data is wrong (no idea why, since the data is publicly available in Sweden and compiled from the traffic agency and always accurate), so your car might speed up to 110 km/h when the actual speed limit is 90 km/h or the other way around - slow down way too much.

- Going in a corner is also problematic, the car is very very pessimistic and slows down way too much. The moment when I finally decided I am turning off the PCC and I am just going by normal ACC and Travel assist was when I was exiting a highway with a slight turn onto a B-road and then at the end of the turn I switched on the PCC with a preset speed of 70 km/h and then the car decided to break heavily to around 50km/h because it thought I was still turning in the corner (when in reality I have just exited it). The speed limit of the turn was 60km/h and the car slowed down way less than this (~50km/h). I know I was speeding a bit, but please don't judge me way too hard.

 

All these events occurred in the winter months. The traffic sign recognition did not work when there was a ton of snow, so may be it just read the speed limit signs in my area wrongly and carried the information with it and later used it when the weather got better and I started using PCC more. Or may be the system is just bad and needs more development / updates. Idk what the reason is, but the fact is that I have turned it off and I feel better without it

 

I still have traffic sign recognition turned on, but it is just displayed in the VC as a piece of information for the driver. May be the car will "learn" what the correct speed limits are or how fast it can go on a roundabout after a while and I can try again in a few months - you never know 🤷‍♂️.

 

Anyway, don't feel like you have missed some ground breaking innovation, but I understand your curiosity

The manual and menus won't be country specific.

 

I expect the map data is missing for Italy which is causing the issue. It might work if you were to drive into France or another country

Ho chiesto su un forum estero

io lasciato l'auto in concessionaria il 6, domani dovrebbero riconsegnarmela dopo un fantomatico "aggiornamento alla centralina del volante" (domani mi faccio spiegare).
segnalavo questi problemi: QUESTO (ACC...) ed il fatto che a volte mi segnala, dopo qualche centinaio di metri dall'accensione "Travel Assist non disponibile" con tanto di spia di allarme, per poi scomparire da solo come si è presentato (e tutti gli assistenti funzionano, provato).
se domani la ritiro provo e vi tengo aggiornati ;-)
