General Motors Cadillac division will display the technologies at its
booth during this week's auto show. Guests to the area will have the
opportunity to interactively experience MagneRide, while Forewarn Adaptive
cruise control will be illustrated in a video.
"Auto show goers will be able to touch, see, feel and experience Delphi's
technology at Cadillac's auto show stand," said Andrew Brown, Jr., Delphi
executive director of engineering. "MagneRide and Forewarn Adaptive Cruise
Control are key technologies we are proud to showcase in conjunction with
Cadillac."
Using a 42-inch plasma screen and a hands-on, interactive lever
demonstration, the display will illustrate how Delphi's proven MagneRide semi-
active suspension system (which GM calls Magnetic Ride Control) provides fast,
smooth, continuously variable damping allowing for increased passenger comfort
and increased tire/road contact on all types of surfaces. The cost-effective
system reduces vehicle body motion and increases tire/road contact while
providing a quieter, more refined ride.
Video will take visitors out to the road where Delphi's Forewarn Adaptive
Cruise Control system measures the distance and relative speed of vehicles
ahead using a long-range radar sensor concealed beneath the front bumper of
the vehicle. When activated, the system adjusts the cruise control speed, if
needed, to slow down for upcoming traffic using throttle control and limited
braking. The driver selects the headway, which can be between 1.0 and 2.0
seconds. The system can also help detect if another vehicle crosses into the
radar's path and respond appropriately.
