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.
I just got a Chevy bolt today and when I tried to use it I didn’t know how to turn it on lmao. It was funny because I’d get super close to my dad that is driving in front of me then I get scared and slow down lol. Thanks for it
You are most welcome SECRETABC. I got really nervous the first time I used this feature as well. I can't say that I still fully trust it to this day lol
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.
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.
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 .
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. 🤣🤣
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.
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.
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 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.

@@gmbullfrog1004 lol yeah it turned out mine doesn’t have the ACC anyways. I am disappointed but otherwise the car is amazing lol
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
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
Thanks for your video
You are most welcome Yani. Thank you for watching
Very good tutorial
GMC use cameras for adaptive cruise control but how about radar cruise control?
Radar cruise control is more in europeans vehicles?
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.

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.
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 .

Gm tech here and many many times I’ve seen where the floor mat sticks on your gas pedal and will cause this.
Thank you!
You are most welcome Scott. Thank you for watching!

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

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.
you should have tested on the freeway..it's easier
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.
You start your video by saying that the adaptive cruise control is already on except you failed to say how and why it was on, or how to turn it on.

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
❤
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.
it's for freeway driving. should have demoed it on a highway
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.
Knock the first 3.5 minutes of the video off and it would have a whole lot better.
