How to use ACC?

[GabrielMarie]

Press the ACC switch to activate the cruise control system, the indicator light will illuminate, and the dashboard will display "ACC Activated". You can increase the cruise speed via RES/+ or decrease it via SET/-. ACC features automatic following capability. After setting the speed, the vehicle will automatically adjust its speed based on the situation of the vehicle ahead, without exceeding the preset speed. When there is no vehicle ahead, the car will drive at the set speed. When there is a vehicle ahead, the system will automatically adjust the speed to maintain distance.

I just got my driver's license and found ACC quite amazing. After starting the car, first locate the ACC button on the steering wheel to activate the system, and an icon will appear on the dashboard. Then use the +/- buttons to set the cruising speed, for example to 100 km/h. Adjust the following distance with the control wheel, usually divided into three levels: near, medium, and far. I recommend beginners choose the far setting to avoid emergencies. Once ACC is activated, it will automatically control the throttle and brakes based on the speed of the vehicle ahead - slowing down when the front car slows and accelerating to keep up when it speeds up. Keep your hands lightly on the wheel and stay focused during use, as you'll need to manually brake and take over in case of sudden stops or construction zones. It's best to turn it off in rain, fog, or when the sensor area is dirty, as response may be delayed. ACC is truly helpful on highways, but avoid using it in congested urban areas as the constant stop-and-go can be annoying. Remember to regularly check and clean the radar or camera at the front of the car to ensure proper functioning, developing good habits to enhance driving safety.

Having driven for over 20 years, I find ACC quite helpful in alleviating fatigue during long journeys. To activate, press the ACC button to enter the system, then set your target speed—for example, 110 km/h on highways. Next, adjust the following distance; I typically set it to a medium or higher safety value, with clear visual indicators on the steering wheel or dashboard. It's straightforward to use, automatically accelerating and decelerating to reduce stress. Linked with automatic braking, it effectively lowers rear-end collision risks in heavy traffic, though I emphasize not relying on it entirely. Since ACC operates via front sensors, it's best to turn it off during heavy rain or snow to avoid malfunctions. Regular cleaning of the front radar is crucial. I've also noticed ACC works even better with lane-keeping assist, but don't get distracted—keep your hands on the wheel. On flat highway sections with steady traffic, ACC performs best, offering comfort and fuel efficiency. However, on steep slopes or winding roads, the system may lag, requiring timely manual intervention. Safety first—this feature assists but doesn't replace the driver's role.

Safety is the top priority when using ACC. Ensure there are no obstructions ahead before activating it. Choose a moderate speed setting, such as 80 km/h. Select the longest distance setting to prevent accidents. Keep your hands lightly on the steering wheel and be ready to take over at any time. Press the brake to cancel ACC. The function is activated via a button and automatically adjusts speed, but in poor weather conditions like heavy rain or fog, turn it off as sensors may fail—maintain manual control. ACC is not autonomous driving and can encounter issues on sharp turns or slopes. Regular maintenance includes cleaning the radar and camera to avoid misjudgments. Stay alert while driving to prevent potential risks.
