Delphi's Forewarn Adaptive Cruise Control Earns Automotive News 'PACE' Award

    TROY, Mich., March 7 Delphi Automotive Systems'
Forewarn(R) Adaptive Cruise Control system was selected to receive
the 2000 Automotive News PACE (Premier Automotive Supplier's Contribution to
Excellence) Award during a ceremony in Detroit last night.
    Delphi's Forewarn Adaptive Cruise Control system (ACC) is an innovative
comfort and convenience technology that takes cruise control to the next
level.  By using radar technology and limited control of the throttle and
brakes, an ACC equipped vehicle automatically adapts the speed to keep it at a
pre-set distance behind slower moving traffic.  ACC was one of 19 finalists in
the competition's North American category.
    PACE recognizes standout automotive suppliers who have excelled in
adapting and reinventing their companies or products to meet constantly
increasing quality standards.  The program, co-sponsored by Automotive News
and Ernst & Young, also recognizes suppliers meeting the technology and
service needs of their customers.
    As a finalist for the PACE award, Delphi hosted a site visit, to evaluate
product innovation and Delphi's management team.  An independent panel of
distinguished industry, academic, and civic leaders then determined Delphi's
Adaptive Cruise Control System should receive the PACE award.
    Delphi's ACC is now available on the 2000 Jaguar XKR in Europe.  The
system measures the distance and relative speed of preceding vehicles using a
microwave radar sensor located in the front of the vehicle.
    When the cruise control is engaged, ACC uses throttle control and limited
braking to adjust the speed to maintain a set time gap between itself and the
vehicle in front of it (adjustable between 1.0 and 2.0 seconds).  This reduces
the need to manually accelerate or decelerate with changes in traffic flow.
If the lane ahead is empty, the vehicle resumes its cruising speed.
