What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video, ra-
dar and ultrasound. Moving vehicles ahead can be
recogni zed up to about 650 feet (200 m) away.
On open roads with no traffic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regular cruise control system.
The stored speed is mainta ined . When approach-
ing 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 dr iver prev i-
ously stored. As soon as the system does not de-
tect a vehicle up ahead, adaptive cruise contro l
accelerates back up to the stored speed.
In stop-and-go traffic, adapt ive 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 capabil ities
