I really enjoy the ACC on my Volt, but there is one thing about it that you need to be aware of. When a vehicle in front of you slows down as in about to make either a left or right turn, the Volt slows down and may continue to slow down even more than you are anticipating even though the car is clearly "out of your way". The ACC radar still "sees" that car as being in front of you. Anyone following behind you may end up getting way too close to you because they haven't expected you to continue to slow down. I guess what I am trying to say is, be prepared to "take over" and accelerate away from the turning car in front as soon as you have safe clearance. This may avoid a rear ender that would not be good.
What Option do I want? Why not both?
I am looking at 2018 Volts on the Chevrolet website. I like to research a little before talking to the dealer because now and then they are misinformed and don't get me the straight answer I need.
When I build and price under saftey 2, it lists 2 options. See descriptions below. It only allows me to select one. If I try to select the other one too, the first is un-selected.
I would like to have both of these features. What do I not understand here.
Thanks for any advice from those who have a Gen 2 or understand the options.

Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking
If the vehicle is traveling at a low speed and the system detects that a front-end collision situation is imminent while following a detected vehicle and the driver has not already applied the brakes, the system automatically applies brakes to help reduce the collision’s severity1
The system may even help avoid the collision at very low speeds
