Specific features of ADAS may vary based on make and model of vehicles. Here are several common features of ADAS. These features are designed to aid in maximizing the safety of you and your passengers.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – technologically adjusts the distance between you and the car ahead of you, while automatically adjusting your speed to keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, without requiring constant acceleration or braking from the driver.

Blind Spot Detection – monitors the area around your vehicle that may be difficult to see such as the blind spots. If it detects a vehicle or an object in the blind spot, it will send an audible and visual alert.

Glare-Free High Beam Lights – adjusts headlamp beams to reduce glare from oncoming vehicles while enhancing visibility for the driver.

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) – detects when your vehicle is approaching an object in front of you, the system alerts you of a possible collision. This warning may be visual, audible, tactile.

Parking Assistance – is designed to aid the driver in both parallel parking and bay parking with the use of cameras and audible sensors. The driver is notified by visual guidance and sounds while parking the vehicle in order to make parking a less stressful process.

The system alerts the driver that it may be time to take a break.
