DESCRIPTION
The distance control switch sets the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. The distance control switch is installed in the steering pad switch. The vehicle-to-vehicle distance set value can be changed by operating the steering pad switch (distance control switch) while the dynamic radar cruise control system is in operation. The steering pad switch uses the CAN communication line to communicate with each ECU.
