What does automatic cruise control on a car refer to?
1 Answers
It refers to the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. The Adaptive Cruise Control system is an intelligent automatic speed control system developed based on cruise control technology. It can automatically take appropriate actions (acceleration, deceleration, braking) according to traffic conditions, making it well-suited for driving on complex urban roads. When using the automatic cruise control function, the following precautions should be noted: (1) To ensure optimal control of the vehicle, do not use the automatic cruise control function in heavy traffic, on slippery roads due to rain, ice, or snow, or during strong winds. (2) To prevent the automatic cruise control function from malfunctioning, always ensure the control switch is turned off when not in use. (3) When driving on steep slopes, using the automatic cruise control function may cause excessive fluctuations in engine speed, so it is best to avoid using it. When driving downhill, avoid accelerating. If the actual vehicle speed significantly exceeds the set speed, disregard the cruise control, shift the transmission to a lower gear, and use engine braking to control speed. (4) During cruise control, for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (MT), shift the gear lever to neutral when depressing the clutch pedal; otherwise, the engine speed may increase sharply. (5) When using the automatic cruise control function, observe whether the CRUISE indicator light on the instrument panel is flashing. If it flashes, it indicates a malfunction in the automatic cruise control system. In such cases, stop using the function and resume only after troubleshooting.
