The distance between the two veh icles will

When approaching an object detected ahead, the
adaptive cruise contro
l
system brakes to match
that object's speed and then regu lates to the
stored distance. If the object detected ahead ac-
celerates, adaptive cruise control will also accel-
erate up to the stored speed.
The higher the speed, the greater the distance in
meters
