I have been thinking of asking this question for sometime now. When I activate the adaptive cruise control I’ve noticed that when I approach a car that has already stopped at a red traffic light, the radar does see the stopped car and I have to apply the brakes to slow down and eventually stop. Is it supposed to work like that? Any input will be appreciated.

As I recall, cruise control engages/disengages at about 25mph. If you're coming up on a fully stopped vehicle above 25mph you may want to re-evaluate your technique?

The maximum detection range for the radar is 394 feet. If you're traveling at 60 MPH, you'll cover that distance in just over 4 seconds. If you don't look farther ahead and stop the vehicle yourself, the Collision Mitigation Braking System will slow down the vehicle, but not necessarily before a collision.
The Adaptive Cruise Control is intended to follow moving vehicles.
Also, the ACC in the Ridgeline doesn't have the Low-Speed Follow function found in some other models, so the ACC will disengage below 22 MPH.

Casoms3: Thank you very much for your answer to my question. The key in your answer is that the ACC is intended to follow moving vehicles.
