How to use adaptive cruise control

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a smart driving feature that helps maintain a set speed while automatically adjusting to traffic flow. It enhances comfort and safety, especially on highways. Here's how to use it effectively.

Start by ensuring ACC is available in your vehicle. Turn on the system using the cruise control button, usually located on the steering wheel. Set your desired speed, and the system will maintain it while monitoring the distance to the vehicle ahead.

If traffic slows down, ACC will automatically reduce your speed to maintain a safe following distance. Once the road clears, your vehicle will accelerate back to the preset speed. Many systems allow you to adjust the following distance based on your preference.

To regain full control, simply press the brake or accelerator, or turn off the system using the cruise control button. Always remain attentive and ready to take over when needed.

Adaptive Cruise Control is a great tool for long drives, helping to reduce fatigue and improve fuel efficiency. However, it's important to stay engaged and drive responsibly.
