Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

What’s the Benefit?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)¹² maintains speed and the following interval to the vehicle detected ahead. And the Low-Speed Follow feature helps make it easier to drive in stop-and-go traffic.

The Feature:

As with a conventional cruise-control system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) allows the driver to set a desired speed. But ACC goes a step further, allowing the driver to set a desired speed and the following interval behind a vehicle detected ahead.

• While driving, engagement of Adaptive Cruise Control prompts the driver to select a short, medium or long interval behind the vehicle detected ahead.
• ACC then modulates the throttle and applies moderate braking, if necessary, to hold the selected following interval.
• The Low-Speed Follow feature adds even greater functionality.
• When the preceding detected vehicle slows to a stop, ACC can stop the Insight automatically.
• To resume operation, the driver just needs to push the cruise-control toggle switch toward RES/+ or press the accelerator, and the Insight will resume moving up to the ACC system’s prior set speed.
