Does cruise control make you slower?
As predicted, drivers were much less likely to speed when they were using cruise control and ACC. When they were using cruise control or ACC, drivers tended to maintain speed about 5-10 km/h slower than when they were driving manually. However, cruise control and ACC also seemed to slow drivers’ reaction times.
What is the lowest speed for cruise control?
25 mph
The primary purpose of cruise control is to enable you to maintain a minimum speed of 25 mph or greater without holding down the accelerator. When to NOT use your cruise control: Cruise control can be dangerous when you CANNOT drive safely at a steady speed.
Does cruise control waste more gas?
Generally speaking, yes. Cruise control can help you become more fuel-efficient and can help you save an average of 7-14% on gas thanks to its ability to maintain a continuous speed. In comparison, the constant change in acceleration and deceleration of the driver placing their foot over the pedals can eat more gas.
Why does my Subaru Forester slow down when not using CC?
Going downhill w/ CC on it speeds up, going uphill it slows down, +/- 8mph. When not using the CC it is very sensitive to throttle imput from no throttle to very little throttle; it induces a jerky motion.
Are there any problems with the Subaru Forester?
It appears that Subaru has attributed the problem to a drive by wire system. One person who posted something about this a year or so ago indicated that it affected “thousands” of Foresters. Can anyone tell me more about this problem and what, if anything, Subaru has done/does to address it?
Why does my Subaru Forester make a jerky motion?
When not using the CC it is very sensitive to throttle imput from no throttle to very little throttle; it induces a jerky motion. This happens in any gear, at any speed, the more bumpy the road (thus more foot input to the throttle) the worse. At cruising speeds around sweeping corners in tight traffic this can be unnerving!
What are the RPMs on a Subaru Forester?
It periodically has this problem where it will cut out power and feel like it is missing or something. This typically happens while driving about 65 – 70 mph, and the rpms around 2200 – 2500.
