What is decel Cruise control?

Decel cruise control, or deceleration cruise control, is a feature in some vehicles that automatically reduces the speed when approaching a slower-moving vehicle or when descending a hill, helping maintain a safe following distance without the need for manual braking. It works by adjusting the throttle to slow down the vehicle while keeping the cruise control engaged. This system enhances driving comfort and safety, particularly during highway travel. However, it may not be present in all vehicles equipped with traditional cruise control.
