Hey All,
I was cruising tonight and all of the sudden the CC cancelled. Nothing obvious happened, just riding on a smooth hwy, minimal traffic, no speed limit changes, no lane assist.
Any ideas?

This has happened to me in heavy rain or fog. On the next drive, it worked fine. I use intelligent cruise and the camera couldn't see.

Exactly, if the sensors can't see anything the adaptive and intelligent cruise stops working. You can switch it over to manual cruise and it will still work tho.

It was a clear night but I guess there are other circumstances where the cam can't see.
Thanks for the reply!

It also happens with sudden temperature change and condensation on the area of the camera.

Good to know! It's only happened once in the 3 months I've been driving it so I'll still use the adaptive CC. If I experience any more issues with it, I'll take your advice on the manual CC. Thanks!
