Cruise Control

[MadDog70]

How useful is cruise control in a car?

Do you guys often use it?

[Redcoloured]

hmmm.. for me i only use it when there isn't much traffic on the road. i always use it in KPE. no car.. and maximum is only 80 km. a good instrument to prevent me from speeding..

You know Merc S-Class has a practical cruise control with a front radar. Upon sensing a slower car in its path it'll slow down from the speed the driver had set, keep a distance and follow the same speed of the slower vehicle and once the slower car filter away it will accelerate back up to the programed speed.

 

That is a useful & practical cruise control.

 

I think it can be found in Top Gear in youtube, it braked to a halt by itself without the driver touching the gas & brake paddles.

cruise control ah..damn useful on NSH..

 

just this morning..on NSH..i programmed the CC to 140kmh and relax relax drive.. [thumbsup]

 

and all CC have this safety feature, once you tap the brake, the CC will reset itself..

I tink this feature is originated from Beemers isnt it?

It is definitely useful for relax drive especially KPE & Sunday morning expressway drive. Juz need to concentrate on switching lane to siam ppl.

It was not originated from BMW. It is always an Merc innovation. It is called Distronic Plus. It could even E-brake for u. The reaction time is much shorter than human.

Prefer the auto parking system.

I belive the first iteration of Merc's system left all those watching TG laughing. The S class didnt stop during the demo and rear ended the other S class.

That case was caused by using the system in a wrong environment eg. indoor, warehouse with metal wall/structure, etc...which confused the radar-system.

Driving have to be alert.

I found it difficult to maintain 140KM/h with CC on NSH. Most parts are of 2 lanes. Lane 2 is used by slower Vehicle so CC can't be used. Lane 1 is used by faster car. At 140 Km/h on lane 1, you're likely to interrupt your CC, either to go much faster or move back to lane 2.

 

Unless, song song, no cars right infront of you over a long distances.

 

Regards,

If u 1 2 drive fast on NSH, u hav 2 b aggressive. So, wif CC, it is still possible. I drove wif CC @ 150km/h. I m not a dangerous driver. However, i find it safer 2 b ahead of d traffic flow.

it serves no function during peak hour jams.

agree.. i have it at 170.. and pushes the car over 200 if there's car running up.. then let go and let it cruise back to 170
