Cruise Control - Smart or Not? Has anyone mastered it?

[srobak]

I keep getting a warning indication that my front radar is blocked or not working on my 2024 G70. When this occurs, the cruise control will not work. It will not reset until I turn the car off and restart. Is there any way to use cruise control without it being in adaptive mode?

I am betting you mounted your license plate too high or bumped the front of the car into something. If not & that is how it came from the dealer or has otherwise recently developed - you are under warranty and should take it in to be serviced.

fwiw I just (yesterday) completed a 1400 mile drive from CT to FL. I had never used cruise in any previous car because of the way they responded. I really enjoyed this one! Even the lane keeping feature was left on, though I was pretty skeptical of that at 1st.
The ability to set the minimum 'closing' distance is a great feature along with how fast it accelerates to get back up to speed.
It's a keeper!

Sure makes a difference. I made that trip last month (RT 2835 miles) and usually do it once or twice a year. Without CC, I'd have to make more rest stops and not do as many miles a day.

I also listen to SiriusXM so I don't have to look for a new radio station every 60 miles like the old days.

Have been enjoying this for many years myself as well. And it is quite awesome - though if you are a die-hard 80's on 8 listener and driving quite far on the weekends you do keep hearing the same "VJ big 40" program every 3 hours...

I have 5 stations as favorites. Escape (easy listening), 40s, 50s, 60s, Symphony Hall.
I'm sure it is repeated during the day, but I change for the sake of change at times and don't notice it.

I do have a couple of USB sticks with music but rarely use them. It has been about 9 years since I listed to an AM/FM station. Even then, I'd listed to a local AM station for 10 minutes for the local news on the way to work.
