What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video, ra-
dar and ultrasound . Moving vehicles ahead can
be recognized up to about 650 feet (200 m)
away .
On open roads with no traffic, adapt ive cruise
control works like a regu lar cruise contro l sys-
tem. The stored speed is ma intained . When ap-
proaching a moving vehicle detected up ahead ,
the adaptive cruise control system automatically
slows down to match that vehicle's speed and
then maintains the distance that the driver previ-
ously stored. As soon as the system does not de-
tect a vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise control
accelerates back up to the stored speed.
In stop-and-go traff ic, adaptive cruise control can
brake until the vehicle stops and accelerate again
under certain conditions and if this is possible
within the system's limits and capabilities
c;,
page 83 . Adaptive cru ise control will not
make an emergency stop .

can set the current speed as the "control speed"
