Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an intelligent cruise control system that can automatically regulate vehicle speed to maintain
a selectable distance to the vehicle ahead. It adapts to current traffic conditions and adjusts the cruise control speed without
driver intervention.
Design and Function
A radar sensor located at the front of the vehicle is constantly scanning to detect objects or vehicles ahead. The ACC
multifunction steering wheel controls or stalk on the steering column allow for activation, deactivation and setting a preferred
distance to the vehicle ahead.
ACC operates like cruise control, maintaining a preset speed. However, when a slower vehicle is ahead the ACC system
reduces the vehicle speed to maintain a preset following distance. Some systems can even reduce the vehicle speed to a
complete stop. When the area ahead of the vehicle clears, the ACC system accelerates to the preset speed again.
