Radar isn't very good at "seeing" stopped cars, so I suspect the system also uses the forward collision camera to prevent you from hitting cars that suddenly stop. The car uses the millimeter wave radar mounted behind the bowtie to detect how close you are to another car and either applies the brakes or the accelerator. When you hit the cruise control button you see a logo of a speedometer with an arrow pointing at it with a car behind it The front grill has a split section with the Chevy bowtie in it (this is where the radar is) It must be a later build MY17+ (Rumored to be around July 2016+) Premier with Driver Confidence 1 and 2 In addition, ACC also adds UGN, Forward Automatic Braking (full speed) meaning that your car will prevent a collision at least up to 25mph( thereby awarding the '17 Volt IIHS's TOP SAFETY PICK+ with Superior Front crash prevention) How do I know the car I'm looking at has it? The coolest part is that the Volt has a full range ACC system, meaning that it will bring your car to a complete stop and when traffic continues, the system will (after hitting RES or the accelerator) disengage the brakes and follow the car in front of you!(while some older ACC systems disengage under 12-25mph) If your commute has heavy stop and go traffic, I would say that it would be well worth your time to consider getting ACC on your new 's relatively cheap (~$500 for the option, ~$1000 for DC1 and 2) and works pretty well for the price.
