Distance Control Assist

With the Distance Control Assist system active, the accelerator pedal servo is again called into play. If the system detects that you're approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly and have made no attempt to slow yourself, it will assume that you're not paying attention and gently lift your foot from the accelerator while applying automatic brake pressure to maintain a safe travel distance -- all the way down to a complete stop if necessary. You can force through the feedback if you really want to hit the car ahead, but I rather liked this implementation of the technology.
