Coward Collision Avoidance

It IS always on... you're just not going fast enough at a stationary / much slower car.
The adaptive cruise slowdown is just part of the smart cruise control system. Same sensors but different functions.

the FCA is a emergency brake-to-a-full-stop function. What you're experiencing with adaptive cruise is just keeping pace with a car that you're gradually coming closer to.

Amusing typo in the subject title "Coward Collision Avoidance" ... certainly best to avoid a collision with anyone, cowardly or otherwise!

I came here to see someone say their system was a coward to break all the time when tailgating. I am disappointed.
