Otherwise it is terrific and really allows you to use cruise control more often because you don't have to "tinker" with the speeds at all if someone slows down temporarily in front of you.

Hope that helps. Let me know if u need other info.

Don't have lane departure.

Good luck.
Do you have issues with Active Cruise slowing you down if you catch a vehicle in another lane in a curve? I've followed BMWs that slow down when passing another car and wondered if it was the ACC.
