Adaptive Cruise Control works only from 25MPH +?
Can anyone with this option tell me what happens when you are using this and car in front of you comes to complete stop? I don't understand how this can work if it only works 25+ MPH as stated by below article.

There are usually two types:
1. Speed ranges from 20-30MPH engagement
2. Stop and Go 0-100MPH
BMW and Mercedes offer the Stop and Go style of adaptive cruise. I believe Mercedes was one of the first to the game with Distronic. My current 2013 Accord Touring has ACC, but it's like the IS 350 and limited to a certain speed range. I wanted ACC on the IS but I didn't want to wait four months so I'm going to give it up for a couple of years. Even above 25 MPH, it's a nice feature to have. If you have a lot of stop and go traffic then the Adaptive Cruise in the IS isn't the most ideal. PCS can also be nice and I'm going to miss that when I sell my Accord.
