Steady speed

There are no vehicles driving ahead within the

distance-regulator sensor's detection area. The

driver's desired speed is maintained.

Electrics

Automatic distance control (ADC)

ADC is a driver-assistance system which enhances cruise control.

By reducing motor torque and the possible application of the brake, an ADC-vehicle is kept at a conven-

ient distance behind a slower-moving vehicle in front.

Its function is clarified by the four traffic scenarios presented below.

270_197

100 km/h

270_198

100 km/h

→ 80 km/h

80 km/h

Delay

When the ADC-vehicle approaches a slower-

moving vehicle, speed is slackened by reducing

the engine torque and, if necessary, through a

moderate application of the brake. The driver is

prompted to take over the braking operation if

the delay is insufficient.
