Facelift Traffic assist and other extras

[Masslob]

Hi all

OK so I got traffic assist with my FL S3

Now does this only work if it's been tracking a car that then slows to a stop

Or can you also be at a standstill in a jam and you turn on the acc so when it starts shuffling along the car does it for you?

I have ACC but I think traffic assist is an extension/works in tandem with ACC so I can only comment on ACC - with that it only works if it has already tracked a car or picks up a newly tracked car. As long as the car in front has been tracked, you can either automatically (within 3 seconds) or manually (via pulling ACC stalk or touching accelerator) move forward at similar pace to the car in front. I am not sure about it though "if you turn on the acc whilst at a standstill" - if you mean activate it, it may not, if you mean "resume" it probably will - having said that I am learning about it all the time! - one thing I have only just got to grips with is that once it is activated/set but then you brake, you have 2 options - pull the stalk and the ACC will resume it previously stored speed (if permissable) or press the "set" button and it will reset to the current speed - I kept pressing the "set" button only to find it resets to the current speed rather than wanting to resume!

As I understand, traffic jam assist refers specifically to the car "steering" or maintaining itself in a lane at low speeds; under 60kph I believe.

Another way to describe it is low speed lane assist.

ACC is a separate integrated feature that specifically controls the brakes and accelerator to maintain a safe follow distance at any speed all the way to a stop.

So ACC works in conjunction with traffic jam assist but they are separate features.

Tried out both yesterday. Pretty damn cool.

Worried it wouldn't brake in time but it was rock solid and then set off as soon as car in front moved off

Have done it with a car I was already tracking. I'll see what happens from stationary

if you mean trying to track a stationary car be careful as it does not (or should not) work!

Yeah I tried that. So yeah It don't work that way
But for everything else I'm impressed, it works very well
