4.7 Cruise control system
4.7.1 Adaptive cruise control
Information
–
Do not obscure the cruise control system’s radar. Any
obstruction may prevent the radar from detecting
objects in front of the vehicle.
–
Do not paint the front grille of the vehicle as this may
interfere with the functionality of the cruise control
radar. Different paint types and colours may have
different effects on the radar beam and performance
cannot be guaranteed.

–
Do not change the design of the lower radiator grille
as this will have an adverse effect on the performance
of the cruise control module.
Do not change the position of the radar as this will
drastically affect the performance of the cruise control
module and its ability to reliably detect objects.
Do not change the mass or shape of the radar in a way
that changes the radar spacing. Any change in radar
spacing degrades the efficiency of the cruise control
module by reducing either the maximum detection
range of the radar, its ability to detect high or low
targets, or its ability to detect objects without
obstruction.
–
Do not modify or remove the radar cover as this will
affect radar performance. This cover is specifically
designed to have minimal interference with the radar
beam. Removing the cover opens the radar to
environmental factors such as rain, snow and mud.
Radar performance and long-term durability cannot
be guaranteed.
