TROY, Mich., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Delphi Corp. announced that it will
provide its Forewarn(R) Smart Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning (with
audible and visible warnings) and Collision Mitigation (by pre-charging the
braking system) for Ford of Europe's all-new Galaxy and S-MAX family vehicles.
Ford will market the optional system to customers as Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) with Forward Alert (FA).

"We are very excited that Ford is taking this step to add even more safety
to their new vehicles," said Rainer Hermeling, Delphi director of European
customer region. "Delphi's Forewarn safety systems help give drivers more time
to react to help avoid accidents."
Delphi's Forewarn Smart Cruise Control measures the distance and relative
speed of the vehicle ahead using a radar sensor located in the front of the
vehicle.
When Smart Cruise Control is engaged, it uses throttle control and limited
braking to adjust vehicle speed to maintain a set time gap between itself and
the vehicle in front of it (adjustable up to 2.5 seconds). This reduces the
need to manually accelerate or decelerate with changes in traffic flow. If the
lane ahead is empty, the vehicle maintains its cruising speed.
Delphi's Collision Warning System gives an audible and visible alert to
help warn the driver should the driver get too close to a vehicle when cruise
is disengaged. In addition, the Ford system's Forward Alert feature will pre-
charge the brakes to help stop the vehicle as the driver gets closer to a
potential collision.
Delphi introduced Smart Cruise Control in 1999 on the Jaguar XK.

Company's current views with respect to current events and financial
performance. Such forward looking statements are and will be, as the case may
be, subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to the Company's

time; the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate
one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the chapter 11 cases;
risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to

11 trustee or to convert the cases to chapter 7 cases; the ability of the
Company to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service

securities. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be
ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these constituencies.
Accordingly, the Company urges that the appropriate caution be exercised with
