Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC)

[smilepak]

Is Traffic Aware Cruise Control the same as Adaptive Cruise Control? They are one and the same?

Meaning you don't have Adaptive Cruise Control unless you activate autopilot features?

so what is the best way to use TACC under heavy traffic that is moving in 10~20 KM / Hour? thanks

Now that sucks. I don't care for the auto park and line assist stuff. Paying 2500 for just TACC....bummer.

From the manual:

Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is
primarily intended for driving on dry, straight
roads, such as highways and freeways. It
should not be used on city streets.

Warning: Traffic-Aware Cruise Control
has limited deceleration ability and may
be unable to apply enough braking to
avoid a collision if a vehicle in front slows
suddenly, or if a vehicle enters your
driving lane in front of you. Never depend
on Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to slow
down the vehicle enough to prevent a
collision. Always keep your eyes on the
road when driving and be prepared to
take corrective action as needed.
Depending on Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control to slow the vehicle down enough
to prevent a collision can result in serious
injury or death.
