New Lexus models are equipped with a wide range of advanced safety features that utilize radars and technology to create a more stress-free and safe driving experience. One of these features is Dynamic Radar Cruise Control™, or DRCC™, a cutting-edge cruise control technology that takes the stress out of highway driving and stop-and-go traffic by helping you maintain a safe following distance. These are some tips for safely operating the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control™ system.
How DRCC™ Works
This intelligent system utilizes a combination of cameras and radar technology to detect vehicles ahead. It will automatically adjust your speed to maintain a preset following distance, going as far as to slow down or stop completely if necessary. Not only does this help with safety, but it also reduces driver fatigue on long journeys.
Tips for Safely Using DRCC™
- Stay Alert: DRCC™ is a driver-assist feature, not something that will do all the work for you. Always pay attention to the road and be prepared to take control.
- Be Mindful of Curves: If you’re driving in an area with many curves in the road, be sure to reduce your speed and be ready to brake if necessary.
- Be Mindful of Limitations: DRCC™ may not always detect pedestrians, cyclists, or stationary objects in the road. Remain vigilant behind the wheel and be prepared to brake.
- Maintain a Safe Following Distance: DRCC™ helps to maintain a preset distance, but you should adjust it based on visibility and road conditions.
- Keep up with Regular Maintenance: Ensure you keep up with regular Lexus maintenance at Lexus of Valencia. This includes sensor cleaning and calibration.
