When it comes to stop i would like to be able to set the stopping distance as well. I think it stops too close to the car ahead and that's a bit enerving. 🤣🤣
You are right Polo. I was able to get some interstate driving done to test the Adaptive Cruise Control and it is much easier to use than in town driving. Just make sure you set your following distance appropriately to avoid breaking too hard.
I do not use ACC in city driving. It’s meant for highway driving. Even then when traffic stopped I can see and slow down early as opposed to hard braking.
Yes, it is a nifty feature and thanks for the restrictions at the end of the video. I figured this would not be good to use for nighttime driving - too dark and all the car lights. it does look a bit scary to even use throughout a town or city setting. Is the car going to stop feeling? Is a nice feature for highway driving to auto keep distances from other cars most the time. Just have to watch out for drivers that want to cut in front of your carl and if the adaptive cruise detects that move in time to slow down.
Bought a 2020 Silverado brand new. It now has 100K miles. I will never buy another vehicle without ACC. BTW, if the ACC can't see, it will disengage with an audible and visual que.
The other day I was on the freeway and my car (2019 Bolt ) started to accelerate I put my foot all the way down on the brake and it wouldn't slow down it kept accelerating . I was really scared it kept doing that for 15 seconds . I am wondering if maybe I accidentally turned on the adaptive cruise control or is this something more serious . The fact that I kept putting on the brake and it didn't slow down or stop was very scary . If anyone has advice, please share .
I think what gets lost in how GM promotes this feature and a selling point to me, is. A consumer has Regular cruise control AND the adaptive cruise feature 2 separate features in one vehicle. You showed that by showing the icons 👍🏼
Thank you for the feedback Studebaker. I need to do another video or add onto this one with the new "Super Cruise" that GM has started implementing on their new vehicles.
Adaptive cruise has been around for a while now but it is only AVAILABLE on certain models. The way I can tell is if the cruise control button has the adaptive cruise symbol. Also there should be buttons on your dash to adjust the following distance. If you don't have these buttons then your vehicle most likely does not have this feature
@@gmbullfrog1004 So it has the "Collison distance adjustment" button, the 3 different distances. Just seems like the adaptive is not turned on. Actually have an appoint today with a GM specialist to check the Computer system to see if the adaptive is present.
I did get the pleasure to get some interstate driving to test this out and it does work much better on the interstate. I wanted to test its reactiveness in stop and go traffic to see how "reactive" it truly was.
Thank you!
You are most welcome Scott. Thank you for watching!

you should have tested on the freeway..it's easier

3 and 2 car lengths is frustrating in traffic because people keep jumping into that space my vehicle jams on the brakes and I keep getting bumped back

i love watching all your vids
Thank you Dominic. Appreciate the feedback as always

Thank you for bringing this up Cynical. I should have mentioned that in the video and didn't, but that is a very good point.

Gm tech here and many many times I’ve seen where the floor mat sticks on your gas pedal and will cause this.
Is it only on 2021? I have a 2020 Traverse
Hello inteligenciam. Adaptive cruise control is only available on the High Country trim level for the 2020 Traverse

Yo this video was posted 9 months ago. Where have you gone my fellow GM sales person?!
I need to get back into the video game. I haven't had the time to make any new content recently
Odd, I have a 2017 Denatured, but can’t get it activated. Adaptive cruise exists on 2015’s so confused why I can’t get mine turned on.

Very good tutorial
GMC use cameras for adaptive cruise control but how about radar cruise control?
Radar cruise control is more in europeans vehicles?
Buying a 2021 acadia. Has the pro safety package. Does this include adaptive?
Hello MidKnight. The pro safety package does not include adaptive cruise. You want the advanced technology package to add adaptive cruise.
❤
this was excellent. I just purchased my first GMC, didnt know how to turn it on.
Glad this was able to help. Thank you so much for watching!
I know how to turn it on and how it works, but I can’t get it to turn on in my recently purchased Denali, am I missing something?? 2023 Sierra denali
Heads up, it’s “braking” not “breaking”
Nice catch Debbie. I aint't never been no good with dat der English lol
I noticed that also. It does tend to diminish his credibility. I hope he can go back and edit it out.
Thanks for your video
You are most welcome Yani. Thank you for watching
it's for freeway driving. should have demoed it on a highway
