Re: CRUISE CONTROL (kullenberg)
Yes, As soon as the car breaks for the first time when car ahead gets to close, the break lights come on for about 2-3 seconds. At first I did not like this feature but when I thought about it the car pacing behind you would be up your rear with no warning of slow down traffic ahead.

The ACC works great for 2 lane interstate, but I've found that when you are in the middle lane and people are always coming back and forth across it, it overreacts. I bet it is really sweet though on long trips. I use it whenever I can...noticed it helps the gas mileage.

You must have some pretty sweeping curves on your roads. While I only used the adaptive cruise a couple of times due to proper break-in suggestions, I did come across some slight turns and the cruise kept it's pace with no slow down. I would never use cruise on any road that had a lot of bends or corners anyway so this safety feature won't affect me.jmess wrote:Another feature of the adaptive cruise is the car slows down going around corners. I am not sure if it senses lateral G force or steering wheel angle. I have found this feature to be really annoying to the point I am using the dumb cruise mode 90% of the time.

I found the adaptive cruise control slowing down in very minor freeway corners at 65 MPH. This same corner could be negotiated safely at 100MPH if you were so inclined to go that fast. 99 MPH for people who can't deal with triple digit speeds
