Kluger Grande 2014 Radar Issue

[EnglishmanAbroad]

I was driving my Kluger in very heavy rain at the weekend on auto cruise control and a message "Clean the Radar" was displayed on the dash with a warning triangle. The radar then shut-down and wouldn't restart.

I've checked the manual and there is no mention of how to clean the radar sensor.

Any ideas or is this a service call?

Radar unit is probably mounted in/behind the front grille, try just wiping it clean with a cloth first (water droplets on the sensor will confuse it and cause it to turn off the cruise control).

Don't use cruise in heavy rain!!! It can be dangerous

I have read where some US car manufacturers now have added a cruise control overide , once the wipers are turned on.Once the wipers are off , the cruise control can be activated once again.
