Why is my Adaptive Cruise Control not working?
Some things that can keep your Adaptive Cruise Control from working properly: Bad weather that affects road visibility. Moisture on the inside or outside of the windshield. Blocked or dirty radar sensors or cameras.
How do I enable Adaptive Cruise Control?

If any of the radars or the camera becomes blocked or misaligned, an “ADAPTIVE CRUISE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE” message may be displayed and the cruise will be disabled. The following items should be considered when diagnosing an “ADAPTIVE CRUISE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE” message.
