6MT - Adaptive Cruise Control works through shifts!

[loudog3114]

Just thought I would share my experience with adaptive cruise on a stick shift. In the past, every stick shift car I ever had would turn off cruise control when I pressed the clutch, so that's what I expected from this. Not the case! When decelerating, you can down shift or go to neutral, and the brakes will continue to be applied. When accelerating, you can press the clutch, shift up, and the acceleration will resume after a very brief pause after re-engaging the clutch. Very cool. Did not expect it to be that good.

Also, it kicks off below 15mph (though it still brings you to damn near a complete stop), and will not allow you to re-engage until 20mph.

I have not used the ACC but did notice that the normal cruise also stays engaged while up shifting. So you can engage CC in 5th and then upshift to 6th. I didn’t linger on the shift so don’t know if there might be a chance of overreving if the clutch is left depressed while CC is engaged.
