Deceleration Gap Margin (0%)

TFollowDecelBoost

Adds a single deceleration-dependent margin to the baseline target gap without accumulating it during sustained braking. Higher values add more space. Extra margin releases progressively as braking eases. 0% disables added margin; any already-applied margin releases gradually. Baseline gap-reduction hold during deceleration remains active.

Behavior

Adds one deceleration-dependent margin to the baseline target gap without repeatedly accumulating it during sustained braking. Higher values add more space; lower values add less.

The extra margin releases progressively as braking eases and updates promptly when braking strengthens. Disabling the setting gradually releases already-applied margin while preserving baseline gap-reduction hold during braking.

Usage

Use this to adjust spacing during deceleration. Changing the value does not change the configured base following gaps.
