What is Adaptive Cruise Control in My New Chevy?

Buyers looking for brand-new Chevrolet models have undoubtedly noticed an option called adaptive cruise control listed as part of the safety features. This popular feature has become popular with Harvey's Chevrolet buyers who spend a lot of time traveling on Christiansburg highways. Here is what you need to know about adaptive cruise control.

What is Adaptive Cruise Control?

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an advanced system that helps drivers maintain a safe following distance with the vehicles in front of them and helps them stay within the speed limit. The system adjusts your vehicle's speed automatically, so you don't have to brake and accelerate while driving through Salem, VA. ACC works through sensory technology like cameras, lasers and radar equipment that determines the speed and how close vehicles are to one another.

What are the Advantages of Adaptive Cruise Control?

In addition to not having to constantly adjust speed and braking as drivers sometimes must with traditional cruise control, the ACC system keeps adequate spacing between drivers, which helps prevent accidents from obstructed views or from following too closely while also maximizing traffic flow.

As a driver, you can focus on your surroundings. Learn more about ACC in the latest Chevrolet models by stopping into our showroom in Radford, VA and trying the system on a test drive.
