Cruise control

New Technologies Available on Nissan Fuga in December

TOKYO, Dec. 13, 2007 -- Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. will introduce two pioneering technologies with its new Nissan Fuga, set for release in Japan this month - the world's first Distance Control Assist and navigation-enabled Intelligent Cruise Control systems.

Nissan's pioneering Distance Control Assist system helps control the distance between two vehicles under various traffic conditions, from congested urban roads to high-speed expressways. The improved Intelligent Cruise Control system integrates route-information via the on-board navigation system to monitor the vehicle's cruising speed to match actual road conditions i.e. the sharpness of the next curve on the road.
