in the abilities
of
the system. If the system de-
tects an object, adaptive cruise control can brake
and accelerate your veh icle
.
This makes driving
more comfortab le both on long stretches of
highway and in stop-and-go traffic.
What can adaptive cruise
cont
rol do?
The adaptive cruise contro
l
system uses radar
and a video camera. The radar is subject to desig
-
nated system limits
q
page 97.
On open roads with no traffic, it funct ions like a
cruise control system
.
The stored speed is main-
tained. When approaching an object ahead and
the system detects it, the adapt ive cruise control
system automatically brakes to match that ob-
ject's speed and then maintains the stored dis-
tance. As soon as the system does not detect an
object ahead, adapt ive cruise control accelerates
up to the sto red speed
.
Within the limits of the system, adaptive cruise
control can brake in stop -and-go traffic until the
vehicle is stat ionary and then begin driving again
under certain conditions
