cruise

I have noticed this on 3 separate occasions now and I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem. While driving and the cruise is OFF, I'll notice a flashing display in the cluster that says "Caution!", in red words. In the background is the cruise control page that is displayed when the...

I have a new 2012 4.6 With Tech and Premium and just took it on my first trip (which rolled it over 1000 miles). I'm still getting used to it's quirks such as the Surround Sound setting, seat memory and such but one thing I just can't overlook is the Smart Cruise Control and it dropping speed...

I had a thought: When the vehicle automatically changes speeds (slows down) do the brake lights come on? Seems like they should, but I would have no way of finding out.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 28, 2012 Cars and Beer what can be better. http://www.facebook.com/events/228566553889417/ I'm setting up a Cruise with a few friends of mine, I already made the reservations. 21+ over please, IDs will be...

hey I just bought a new 2011 3.8 with all the bells etc but I dont think much of the so called smart cruise , does any one know if the smart part can be turned off so I just have normal cc Thanks Alec

Rolling down I95 at 70 plus with Adaptive CC engaged at the lowest sensitivity setting when all by itself my Genny engages the brakes (smoothly thank God), the speedo goes to zero and stays there, red SSC disengage warning, auto hold warning, check engine, ABS warning, EPB warning come on and...

I'm looking into purchasing an extended warranty contract for my Equus Sig. The "Platinum" plan is the only one for Equus. Within that list of exclusions is the LDWS and any radar controlled devices ie: Smart Cruise. Being that Smart Cruise (SSC) is more or less a "safety" feature, why is it...

OK, first I have to say that I love the Genesis Sedan! After driving BMWs for years, 7 total, I could no longer stand how finicky they have become with their uncoordinated service intervals. One should not be on a first name basis with with the service writer any dealership. So my question is...

So happy I found this forum before I buy. I've searched, but haven't quite found a good thread for this question (please redirect me if I've missed it and I'll delete this thread, thanks). Planning to buy a '12 3.8 V6. Trying to decide if it is worth it to pay the extra for the Technology...

Sorry if this has been covered (I have searched for quite awhile and found some info, but not enough). I felt the brakes apply when I had cruise control set and got too close to the car in front of me. Two questions/comments; 1. How hard will the brakes be applied if there is a sudden slow...

I have an Escort Passport 9500ix radar detector and would like to know if the Adaptive Cruise Control feature on the Genesis interferes with its operation... it renders the detector useless in my Mercedes...although I think that may be the windshield as well.... Has anyone noticed any issues...

Hi all, I have an '10 3.8 Tech Package and I noticed yesterday that the average speed given by the DIS is not related to the speedometer display. I was on the highway with speed set at 110km/h on the cruise control and no car in front of me. I reset the DIS Average Speed indicator, but it...

Can someone confirm that some of the later 2009 4.6 genesis with the Tech package did in fact have adaptive cruise control? I have been in discussions with a used car dealer who says the 4.6 with tech he has on his lot does have adaptive cruise control. Is it even possible for a 2009 model to...

I had the adaptive cruise on and went into a turn a little too fast and it slowed the car down. Surprised me a little. I love the adaptive cruise and use it all the time. I found it useful the other day when in slow moving traffic. As long as the traffic did not slow below 5 MPH I did not...

My initial reaction to the concept of adaptive cruise control was, at best, skeptical. I wondered if it could be turned off. Now that I have used it extensively on the first 2500 miles of my 2011 Genesis, I can say that I am dazzled by it. You cannot, to my knowledge, disable it. If the front...

Where is the headlight sensor located? Behind the grille? I was considering a bra but wondered if it could slip and cover any of the sensors resulting in a) adaptive CC not functioning and rear ending someone b) headlights on all the time Are the black plastic lens like objects below the grille...

Anyone know if the Genesis Adaptive Cruise Control is Radar or Laser based?

After my second highway trip, I learned a couple things some of you may not know yet: *. When on map screen or during Nav mode, press down on knob for live traffic menu option. Clicking it brings up any reports within distance of 100 miles. Clicking any of the occurrences puts up the GPS map...

First time poster but long-time reader of everyone's great insight! First off, I LOVE, LOVE my new Genesis! I have a 2009 V6 Genesis with Tech Package. On recent trips, I have noticed that the cruise control seems to slip quite a bit on uphills and downhills. So much so that setting the cruise...

Is there any way to turn this bloody thing off?I have read and reread the manual, and the dealer can't tell me Newbie 3 day owner,too old for this electronic stuff I guess at 72
