Adaptive cruise control is designed to ___

Adaptive cruise control is designed to ___

• A. Maintain traction on the road by applying the brakes to individual wheels
• B. Steer the vehicle to stay centered in the lane
• C. Change the vehicle's color to signal braking
• D. Turn off the engine in emergencies

Answer: (A)

Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts your vehicle’s speed to keep a safe following distance from the car ahead, using braking to slow down when the traffic in front slows. This helps you maintain control and steady traction without having to manually brake every time the car in front brakes, and it can resume acceleration when the road is clear. The description that emphasizes using braking to reduce speed to maintain that safe gap aligns with how ACC operates. The other options describe steering, signaling, or turning off the engine, which aren’t functions of adaptive cruise control.
