The adaptive cruise control is a combined speed and distance control system. It assists the driver by controlling the road speed and the distance to the vehicle in front within certain limits imposed by the system. The adaptive cruise control system can accelerate and brake when it detects a vehicle in front. This provides maximum comfort both on long motorway journeys and in congested traffic.
