Jeep Safety Feature?

[pnut]

So, with this "feature" if you put on your blinker but then can't get over right away your Jeep will just accel toward the vehicle in front of you? Or odes it wait until it no longer senses that there is a vehicle there and then floors it?

yes exactly what it does. Don't put the turn signal on until you are ready to go. It can be a bit offputting.

Although I wouldn't describe it as "flooring it" but it does accelerate.

FYI I have had this alot of times. Cruise is set to 75, I am behind a car going 70. As soon as I see a clearing, I put my turn signal on, and the Jeep speeds up to enter the left lane. It doesn't wait until you enter the lane, it starts speeding up the instant you put on your turn signal. Gotta keep an eye on that.

just because im about to be take a (hopefully not) crash course driving a Ton’d Jeep on 42s, you’re saying it will violate the preset gap in order to build passing speed?

If so that sounds pretttty sketchy

Yes that is exactly what it does. At least in my 2022 392.

One more reason I hate all the ACC, LKA and various other systems that try to actively drive for you... Give me a warning (BSM, ParkSense, etc) but I'm ultimately in control at all times. I'll give ESC systems a pass as they're generally invisible unless trying to have some fun off road. My Jeep has ACC but it stays turned off. Pretty sure I've only used it one time when I was traveling was and following someone else.

My wife's Subaru annoys me because you have to turn off ACC every time you want to use the cruise control. All of the other driving "aids" can be permanently shut off and they are.

Had that happen once. Stopped using turn signal before turning. Adaptive cruise will slow for car infrastructure, but when you change lanes adaptive cruise control will accelerate up to the set speed. Faster than what you would expect.

Late 2020 on up has more big brother control than on previous years. Would say something but this forum makes certain facts political, when intending to inform not condemn.

Good thing Jeep also has a button to do old-fashioned cruise control, even if it’s equipped with ACC.

Now they'll start complaining about too many buttons.

Nope, more buttons means more control and less digging through menus to adjust things!

Hi all, sorry for the late response, but ACC wasn't on (I hate that zoom feature when you switch lanes. Not sure why jeep hasn't made any adjustments to gradually accelerate the vehicle after all these years).

I was a few vehicle spaces behind the two cars, and I was gradually passing them on the curve when the car in the front made the random lane change without any indicator.

The acceleration happened when I lifted my feet of the gas pedal, and it was short and I placed my feet on the gas pedal when I saw that the jeep was able to get out of the situation.

I actually wanted to press the brake, but I also wanted the regeneration braking to slow down the vehicle before pressing the brake, so there was a small pause in between. It all happened so fast.

I don't want buttons. I want a dash full of toggle switches!

Ahh yes, the first thing most governments do as soon as they win is start changing industry standards for vehicles on a whim. Lmao.
