Adaptive Cruise Control--Collision Avoidance & Brake lights

[Powelligator]

When the adaptive cruise is on in my Subaru there's an indicator in the center of the dash that shows when the brake lights are on, that is helpful. The two systems are quite different, in a scenario say in the right lane on the interstate coming up on a semi truck, the Subaru will "see" the truck and back off the gas, sort of downshift (it's a CVT, so the equivalent) and coast up to the truck and hold at the distance setting, only braking if the truck slows down. My JL on the other hand will continue at speed right up to the hold distance then abruptly hog on the brakes and then keep that distance. Honestly, I hate the Jeep's adaptive system.

I just picked up a 25 Subaru Forester Touring a little over a week ago. The Adaptive Cruise is light years ahead my Jeep!

Exactly! On both accounts! The FWD collision warning definitely needs to be dialed back a bit! we experienced the same thing with someone making a right turn, could almost cause PTSD itself! The permanent warning light is crazy! what is it?

I realize I worded the last sentence awkwardly - the permanent warning light is due to disabling both the auto brake and the collision warning sound entirely - which I did after 2 occurrences of the sound going off unnecessarily even on the lowest setting
