Adaptive Cruise Control helps make highway and longer drives more comfortable by maintaining your set speed while automatically adjusting your MINI’s distance from the vehicle ahead. To use it, activate cruise control and set your desired speed. Your MINI will maintain that speed when the road is clear and slow down when traffic is detected. You can adjust your following distance and speed using the controls on the steering wheel. When traffic clears, your MINI can resume your set speed. Availability and operation may vary by MINI model and equipment.
