Hey Folks,
Recently I started using the adaptive cruise control or whatever its called for trips to my fathers house, I used to drive my truck out there but gas prices...
Anyway, there are about 5-7 miles of 4 lane road, so I engage the cruise control (far left button on steering wheel) and the car steers itself and maintains speed relative to the car in front etc.
BUT, if there is a red light with traffic in front of me I have to panic break every single time. Normally when I see traffic slowing down for a red light I would tap the breaks, let it coast down a bit then actually apply breaks to come to a slow even stop (actually I have something to ask about that below too), but with this cruise activated i feel like I am doing 65 until im 20 yards away and I SLAM on the breaks to come to a hard stop.
Have I done something wrong here?
Also, I have the emergency breaking turned to the lowest setting, but it still panics a few times a day, Im used to driving a full size pickup so i leave a little space between me and the car in front, but this thing goes off if Im 5 years away doing 5mph or less while actively breaking, not once has it even been close.
Help? Maybe? Wondering if my "grandpa" like driving is not aggressive enough for the MME
