The Intelligent Speed ​​Assistance system connects to the camera and the front radar (sensors used for the recognition of road signs and for other functions such as cruise control) and is able to set a limit to the speed of the vehicle. The system can warn the user, for example with an acoustic signal, that the speed limit has been exceeded. It should be noted that the ISA is also able to reduce the speed of the vehicle, adjusting it to the limits.
