Adaptive cruise control

[Snowwolfe]

Is there anyway to turn the "adaptive" part off and just have normal cruise control?

I believe you can hold down the "distance" button for a couple of seconds to toggle between ACC and CC.

Good to know. The adaptive cruise control can be obnoxiously aggressive.

Much less so if you set the follow distance to the minimum.
Even still it’s still more following distance sensitive than I would choose using unassisted cruise control.

Hi,

In the UK, the cruise has three options.

Adaptive, Speed Only or Speed based on the Road signs, this is all accessed via the LIM (limiter) button, which is on the right hand side of the steering wheel on the left of the rocker switch, not sure if it’s the same in the states.

What do you mean by Speed Only?

I really would've liked that I could switch off the adaptive part and only use normal CC. Not possible on the European model

Speed only = normal cruise control, no following distance involved.

Speed only = normal cruise control, no following distance involved.

I don't think I can switch it off on my model.

I found the ACC to be a game changer when I took it on a trip to Atlanta. I wasn't feeling well to begin with and dreaded the thought of a long drive. (About 7 hours) But the ACC made things so much easier on me that even while sick, the drive wasn't bad at all. I have a another trip coming next week and now I'm actually looking forward to the drive because of ACC. Sure, it's not perfect but it's better than standard or no CC in my opinion.

How does that differ from just "Speed"?

I agree. Did a NY to Florida trip and it made the drive so pleasant. I'd mix it up a little just to stay alert - ACC to no cruise and back. I'm so spoiled now, that I don't think I could buy another car without it.

I agree too. ACC is pretty nice. It takes the stress of coming up on a car out of the equation. Coupled with Lane Keep Assist, my long drives are much less fatiguing for me.

I would have loved an Si with ACC and Lane assist... Yes, I want to drive the car, and hard sometimes, but it's also nice to take it easy and let the car drive itself occasionally. ACC, on the cars I've used it on is a delight. My habit was to get in a caravan of sorts and set it faster than the caravan was going, but the farthest follow distance, meaning anytime the caravan sped up I did too. If they got too slow I just got in front and set it to the speed I wanted to go. Really this was great for some two lane roads in Utah where everyone was going almost fast enough, I could keep up, exceeding the speed limit, but with the group, so I wasn't likely to get pulled over (again, on the same trip).

ACC is awesome in my opinion. I have used it daily on the interstate and in town. Taught my wife how to use it as well.

Speed only = Normal CC, you can just set a speed as per standard CC, the lim (limit) button scrolls around standards CC, limit (stops you going over your chosen limit) or CC signpost limiter, which reads the roads signs and limits the speed accordingly, such as 20,30,50,60 depending on the road signs it reads.

Or you choose ACC with the switch on the right which is brilliant in my opinion and adds that extra eye on things, especially with the lane invasion technology which keeps an eye on the other road users who just pull out, the system gives you that second pair of eyes to keep you safe.

Try different distance setting until you find the distance that suits you.

Hope this helps.
