For those that have adaptive Cruise control, I learned something last week during a snow storm. I was traveling from Vancouver south towards the Seattle area when just past Bellingham on I5 encountered heavy wet sticky snow. Once out of the small mountainous area ( south of Bellingham) the snow was really coming down and all of a sudden my cruise control ceased working and it was showing an error message I have never seen before. I stopped for gas and noticed that my front bumper had about 1 inch of snow stuck to it and it was enough that I could not read my license plate. This was a heavy snowfall to cover my license plate considering I was still traveling at 60 mph
When we reached our destination a resort casino complex just north of Everett Washington and my car was valet parked for three days. When we drove home cruise worked fine. I went online and discovered if the radar sensor located on the right-hand side of the bumper ( looks like a large circle a larger version of the rear sensors ) is covered with snow, ice or mud the adaptive cruise ceases to work. Moral of this is to keep that area clear of snow ice mud etc.. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
