Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

The larger the gap – the more relaxed the driver

The heavier the traffic, the more strenuous it is for the driver. But with the right distance to the vehicle in front he/she has room to relax even in the heaviest traffic.

You can now "enjoy" the right distance, automatically:
With the ACC driver-assistance system from Bosch you automatically maintain the appropriate distance to the vehicle in front. And this equates to stress-free, relaxed driving.

ACC, the intelligent Cruise Control from Bosch monitors the area in front of the vehicle. By comparing the strengths of the reflected signals (detection), ACC calculates the distance to preceding vehicles and ascertains the direction in which they are travelling.

As soon as ACC detects a slower preceding vehicle in the same lane, it adapts speed to maintain the spacing to the other vehicle at the distance set by the driver. This is accomplished by ACC either applying the brakes or reducing the drive torque. In curves too, ACC can detect which preceding vehicle is decisive for cruise-control operation.

ACC is designed as a comfort and convenience system, and as such the degree of acceleration and braking intervention have been intentionally limited. Notwithstanding the support provided by ACC, the driver must remain fully attentive irrespective of the driving situation. The driver remains fully responsible for the vehicle and must adapt his/her driving
style in line with the weather conditions.
