ADC (Automatic Distance Control)
The Automatic Distance control (ADC) technology is similar with the DISTRONIC system from Mercedes-Benz. It is in essence a combination between Cruise Control and a radar based speed control system. When activated, the speed control system can make the car keep a constant distance to another vehicle in front independent of driver input.
If the radar determines an impending frontal crash is unavoidable it emits a collision warning and then automatically slows down the car to avoid it. Newer generations are actually able to bring the vehicle to a full stop behind the car ahead if necessary.
APS (Acoustic Parking System)
The Acoustic Parking System (APS) uses ultrasonic sensors installed at the rear as well as at the front of a vehicle to make parking easier. Using information from the sensors, a microprocessor calculates how far is the car from an obstacle. An intermittent warning tone or lights on a display are usually used to give the driver warning of an impending impact with any object caught by the ultrasonic sensors' sight.
