Among the recent advancements in car safety technologies, the adaptive cruise control feature is one of the most important and useful. It greatly minimizes the pressure of the driver as it helps to control the speed of the car and maintains a safe distance from other cars to avoid a crash. But still, this adaptive control should not be used in bad weather conditions and in tunnels as they might not work efficiently. So, if you want to know all about the adaptive cruise control system in your car, then give some time to watch the following slide show.

1. 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.
