What is Adaptive Cruise Control?

 
Adaptive Cruise Control is a driver-assistance technology available in new models like the Discovery Sport that enhances the typical cruise control feature you find on most vehicles. Learn more below, and contact us at Land Rover South Dade if you have any questions!

How Does Adaptive Cruise Control Work?

1. When Adaptive Cruise Control is engaged, the vehicle’s speed automatically reduces if a slower-moving vehicle is detected in front of you.
2. The system uses its sensors to maintain a safe following distance to the vehicle ahead.
3. If the system detects that the slower-moving vehicle is no longer present, it automatically raises your vehicle speed back up to the originally set cruise control speed.

Deactivating Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control automatically deactivates in certain scenarios, but will still retain the memory of its most recent settings. Below are reasons the system would deactivate while you are driving the South Miami roads:

• The CAN button on the steering wheel is pressed
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• All Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) is selected.
• Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) or Electronic Traction Control (ETC) activates.
• The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is applied.
• Hill Descent Control (HDC) is selected.
• When the speed limiter is in operation (when the pre-set speed limit has been reached)..
