Cruise Control Distance Sensors | Standard (2024)

FAQs

Where is the cruise control distance sensor located? ›

Cruise Control Distance (CCD) Sensors measure the distance to the leading vehicle. This information drives the adaptive cruise control system and emergency braking system. A key component of a vehicle's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), the sensors are located behind a vehicle's front grille opening area.

In the event that you would like to change the preset distance between vehicles, you can do so by using the radar range button located on the lower right side of the steering wheel. Simply press the button repeatedly to cycle through the ranges available.

If your vehicle is equipped with Manual Speed Limit Assist, press and hold the Driving Assist ( ) button to turn off Smart Cruise Control.

Activation/Deactivation

To activate the system, press the MODE switch. The cruise main indication (white) is displayed. To deactivate the system, press the OFF/CAN switch. The cruise main indication (white) turns off.

For this purpose, an ultrasonic distance sensor is installed at the front of the car bumper which measures the distance.

The average cost for a Cruise Control Switch Replacement is between $207 and $222. Labor costs are estimated between $56 and $71 while parts are typically priced around $151.

You will need to go to your personalization menu on the DIC, and if the vehicle has the option to switch from ACC to regular cruise, you will see the option to turn the ACC off.

Cruise control is designed to turn off under much the same circ*mstances as any “autopilot" which is the switch, and any input from the brake or accelerator or clutch if equipped with a manual transmission.

Canceling Adaptive Cruise Control

If you want to stop using Adaptive Cruise Control, you can: Tap the brake pedal. Press the Cancel button. Press the cruise control On/Off button.

Conventional cruise control will keep you at a set speed the entire time it's activated while adaptive cruise control will slow the car down when it detects a car in front of it, adapting to the speed of that vehicle.

How To Use Cruise Control. Typically, the cruise control buttons can be found on the right-hand side of the steering wheel. Depending on the car, the location of the controls can vary, but the functionality of the cruise control will usually be similar across the board.

Park Distance Control consists of sensors integrated in the rear bumper, which check the car's distance from any obstacles. Alerts take the form of sound signals or visual signals on the infotainment display. There are three ultrasound sensors in the back bumper, which monitor the area around the vehicle.

A cousin to adaptive cruise control, Following Distance Indicator uses the vehicle's forward-collision warning sensors to provide the driver with the amount of time between themselves and the car they are traveling behind, thereby letting them know if they are following too closely.

Instead, a computer connected with various sensors and throttle controls operates the feature through a wireless system. This newer technology can automatically adjust the speed based on how fast the vehicle ahead is going while maintaining a safe distance.
