| Description of the problem | I was driving on an open interstate using smart cruise control when a message popped up on the dash screen: smart cruise control disabled. Radar blocked. Weather conditions were dry and my car was clean. There had been no snow accumulation in my area nor any in the area in which i was driving. There were a few cars around. The car that was in front of me made an exit about a minute after the message and indicator lights appeared. The message and indicator lights returned to normal after about 5 minutes. An hour and a half later, the same message and indicator lights appeared. The sky was darker with a few flurries in the air but no accumulation. I turned off smart cruise to finish the trip. I did not experience any problems with smart cruise on the 5 hour return trip. Weather conditions then were gray and raining. The trip is mostly interstate but the destination is mountainous. I made the trip several times over the last 3 years with no problems. |
