Advanced Safety Feature ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
2
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional
cruise control system that automatically adjusts
the car's speed to maintain a safe distance from
vehicles ahead.
3
It is widely regarded as a key component in all
future generations of intelligent cars.
4
WHAT IT DOES?
5
It automatically speeds up slows down the car
to keep a safe following distance relative to the
car ahead, and also provides some breaking.
6
Advanced versions can even slow stop your car
in traffic jams, and then accelerate for you.
7
WHAT IT LAGS?
8
The system provides braking up to a certain
extent. That is, it does not function like
original brakes do.
9
ACC are not standardized, which means automakers
have to decide on the distance to maintain from
the vehicle in front of them.
10
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND IT
11
One or more sensors, including radar and
computer-connected cameras, read the road ahead
for traffic.
12
They are capable of reading and responding to any
car that is in front of you in your lane.
13
WHAT THE USER NEEDS TO DO?
14
Accelerate to set speed, then turn on the ACC,
and feed the data regarding the distance gap you
want to maintain in front back of the car.
15
The adaptive cruise control, then starts
functioning according to the obstacles, it
encounters on the road.
16
In bad weather other unsafe driving conditions,
it is advised not to use ACC, and be aware of
your surroundings.
17
TIPS FOR USING
18
ACC will not work if dirt, snow, or ice covers
the sensors or when the roadways are slippery,
and also not in tunnels.
19
ACC allows you to spend less energy maintaining
your following distance against the cars in front
of you.
20
You can use this opportunity to pay more
attention to the traffic mix, including cars
ahead of you and in adjacent lanes.
21
Check your owner's manual to see if your ACC is
capable of slowing your car to a stop, or if you
need to stop on your own.
