Sensor and ACC
Posted: Wed May 22, 2019 3:31 pm
I mentioned a sensor warning recently which thankfully hasn't popped up again but today I was heading for work in a section of motorway that is down to 50mph for miles... yawn.... and I noticed myself catching up quite quickly with the vehicle in front.
My ACC display looked as it does when it is on but there is no vehicle detected ahead.
I turned ACC off and back on and the vehicle in front registered in my display again.
Then it disappeared again but came back, so the illustration of the car flashed out of and back into the ACC display.
Each time it disappeared, the car acted as though there was no vehicle in front.
Has anybody else come across this?
I can imagine someone a little lazier, or too complacent with their driving aids, finding themselves getting completely caught out by this and ending up in a real mess.
