SAFETY

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)

DRCC enables you to travel calmly at a consistent speed while keeping you at a safe distance from the car in front. If your car is about to get too close, it will slow to prevent a collision.

For optimum safety when travelling at consistent speeds, a vehicle must be responsive to its environment. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control ensures that you always maintain a sufficient distance from any vehicles in front, by slowing you down before any collision has the opportunity to occur.

DRCC detects slower vehicles in front, using grille-mounted millimetre-wave radar and an in-vehicle camera. When an obstacle is detected, your vehicle will automatically decelerate without having to cancel cruise control. If slowing down is insufficient to prevent a collision, then DRCC will automatically apply the brakes, before getting you back up to speed when the vehicle has passed.

DRCC supports a comfortable journey, in many driving situations. High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is perfectly suited to the demands of travel at pace, such as motorway driving, while All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise functions even below 25mph, for peace of mind in highly-congested traffic.

Driving with DRCC alleviates the stress that comes from keeping a consistent distance from the car ahead, particularly in urban areas and when unexpected traffic has the potential to hinder your journey.
