I have lane guidance off on mine. I haven't really played around too much with the ACC yet - still getting used to it. It seems like it could be useful in the stop start grind - but my understanding is you still have to push the accelerator to get it to take off when it comes to a complete stop?

I’ve only had ACC with manuals. Switches off under a certain speed (I think 30kmh). But that would make sense to have to push the accelerator to take off from a stop. You gotta have *some* control right!Originally Posted by WallySimmonds
Your Highline didn’t have DAP? You’re gonna LOVE ACC! Absolutely brilliant.

Found the button on the end of the indicator after about 700ks, so quick and easy. Always have the lane guidance off unless cruising on the highway. Scares the crap out of me in town when it jerks the steering wheel, its only subtle but it's like when the tyres pull you when you drive over partially laid asphalt with grooves.
Used Acc a fair bit. Fantastic in stop start traffic, either tap accelerator to restart the car from stop or tap the res button on the steering wheel. Awesome on the highway too.
Anyone had the red warning car flash in the centre display and the alarm go off like its warning you of a sudden impact, took me by surprise but both times I think the radar got a little confused.

The red warning car flash is the emergency brake. It thought you were about to slam into something/someone! You ought to be more careful lol

Wow so shiny. Looks great!
Here is my car having a spaz changing lanes and the red warning coming up.

In all fairness the car may have been giving me the two fingers for playing Bruno Mars on the radio.

Hard to tell from the video, but I’ve had that happen to me many a time. Were you getting a bit close to kermit-mobile?
My MY16 Trendline would slam the brakes, only happened a handful of times but it was infuriating. It’s like it didn’t trust me being a bit sneaky in traffic! The 7.5R seems to give a better warning without braking, allowing me to take control and prevent an emergency brake.
Has it slammed on the brakes for you yet?

Hasn't slammed on yet. It's only happened twice. Once in the city in heavy traffic with pedestrians on the footpath. I was in the lane closest to th pedestrians and it started going off, think it sensed them on the kerb looking to cross
That time in the video I think it thinks I'm going to hit all the cars in the right lane stopped to turn right. As I change into the right lane the road hooks left so technically I was on a straight trajectory to the cars stopped waiting to turn right but they were quite a distance away. Guess it's good that it's monitoring from so far away. I currently have the warning set to medium in the infotainment.
Only time it's slammed on the brakes has been in parking mode leaving a servo were the driveway dips down and road up. I thought for sure I'd scraped but crisis averted. With that said I have scraped the underside at the front and on the bottom on the front spoiler when the emergency brake failed. Lucky it can't be seen unless laying on the ground but still heart wrenching when it happened.
