The car symbol to the left of the speed symbol will be green when it is locked to a car, grey if not

Human v. computer = human wins. Seems like there are a few things on that adaptive cruise control that I would not use at all. Only a blind spot alert. Every driver's test I've ever taken required me to select a safe following distance, given the speed. And that can vary a lot. If I see an erratic driver, I put a lot more distance between me and him. If I see a car in front that I know has faster braking than mine, I leave a bit more distance. The same with motorcycles - I give motorcycles a lot of room in any case. Never met Hell's Angels on the road, but I'd give them some extra room, thank you. Maintaining a steady speed while someone is passing you is just good manners. Autobahn: keep left and one eye on the rearviews. If you're at 100mph and someone behind you is doing 190mph, that's a 90mph speed difference.

Don’t let go while changing lanes! It is not necessary or safe. Just relax your grip and let the car do the change.

While this video is okay you should take the time to read the manual as the information is more complete.
