What can adaptive cruise control do?
The adaptive cruise control system uses video,
radar and ultrasou nd. Moving vehicles ahead
can be recognized up to about 650 feet
(200 m) away.
On open roads with no traffic, adaptive cruise
control works like a regular cruise control sys-
tem . The stored speed is maintained . When
approaching a moving vehicle detected up
ahead, the adaptive cruise control system au-
tomatically s lows down t o match that vehi-
cle's speed and then maintains the distance
that the driver previous ly stored. As soon as
the system does not detect a vehicle up
ahead, adaptive cruise control accelerates
back up to the stored speed.
In stop-and-go traffic, adapt ive cru ise control
can brake until the vehicle stops and acceler -
ate again under certain conditions and if this
is possible within the system's limits and ca-
pabilities ¢
page 98 . Adaptive cru ise control
will not make an emergency stop .
