Radar-Assisted Adaptive Cruise Control Explained
Maintains your set speed and automatically holds a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
In plain English
A small forward-facing radar unit tracks the vehicle ahead and automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a set following gap, rather than holding a fixed speed regardless of traffic.
How it works
Radar continuously measures the distance and closing speed to vehicles ahead. If traffic slows, the system reduces throttle or applies gentle braking to match; when the road clears, it accelerates back to your set speed.
On an open motorway it takes the constant small throttle adjustments off your hands, letting you focus more on scanning the road. Most systems still expect you to brake for anything unexpected — it's an aid, not autopilot.
