Nissan: Now coming with Adaptive Cruise Control

Now also Nissan comes with an electronic system that helps drivers control the distance between themselves and the vehicle in front.

The system is able to determine the distance to the car in front, as well as the relative speed of both cars, using a radar sensor in the front bumper. If the driver releases the accelerator pedal or is not pressing the accelerator pedal, the system automatically applies the brakes. If the system determines that braking is required, an indicator will appear on the instrument panel and a buzzer will sound simultaneously. The accelerator pedal then automatically moves upwards to assist the driver in switching to the brakes. The new system is especially useful in heavy traffic when
frequent braking is required.
The Distance Control Assist System is the latest innovation developed under Nissan's Safety Shield concept, and accident prevention and management approach based on the idea of "vehicles that help protect people".
