I have ACC. I had another car in front of me abruptly change lanes into my lane (cut me off) and the red car warning came on whilst I had ACC on. I had time to intervene, meaning slam on the brakes as one normally would do when using regular cruise control. Instead of me intervening with the brakes ( brave yet stupid) I held off as I placed blind trust into ACC and it immediately slowed me down ( a complete stop was not needed in this particular situation as the car ahead of me did not come to a full stop.) Caution: owners manual normally state that the electronics are not a substitute for driver interaction). Note: I do not know if ACC applied brake action or if it was the pre-collision warning doing so, I think it was the former as I had not received the audible pre-crash warning.
