Adaptive Cruse Control - Increasing Following Distance

[HarryD]

Does anyone know of a setting in Forscan to extend the following distance? On my previous car with Adaptive C.C. (‘16 Subaru Crosstrek), which had three bars of following distance, it seems that with that car set at two bars the distance is similar to the Ranger set at four bars.

you want to be further back?

I couldnt do it...I have it at the closest setting for a couple reasons.

1- i cant stand getting into the slow the fuck down zone right when i'm about to lane change and halfway over it hits the brakes on me.
2- you leave any gap more than a half of a smart car around here, and every 18 wheeler will wedge themselves into it.

Yeah Agreed the 1 second interval is perfect (op for your info the bars are time intervals so 1 second 2 second 3 second 4 second gap) I have started using it in a way as a 1 pedal driving thing, if you hit the gas even a little it pauses the acc and once you lift off as long as you dont brake it re engages so you can use it to close on someone pass them and just let off and it brakes for you if needed.

So idk if you are aware but it is not setting distance it is setting time so 1 bar is a 1 second gap 2 is 2 second and so forth, at different speeds that distance will vary. With a modern vehicle and modern brakes and tires the 1 second gap is just fine. An alert driver is great as well but the truck will brake for you and yell at you if need be. Being at a reasonably close interval is also a safety thing for others as it prevents gaps and the lovely accordion compression of traffic which causes crashes. set it and leave it, if you are worried about crashing test it and let it do its thing you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it works.

I'd like it to be a bit farther at max setting too. I just finished a ~2000 mile trip on mostly highways and ACC had me closer than I'd prefer on the long low-traffic stretches. Its absolutely not 4 seconds on my 2023. Its way closer than that, more like 4 car lengths at highway speeds. Thats maybe 1 to 2 seconds. Its also too close even at 25mph as it gets about 1 car length back (which is legally considered tailgating).

I actually got pulled over for following too close while using acc, explained to the officer what acc was and got off with a warning, haven't used acc since.
