If the dynamic radar cruise control is used on a road with very light traffic and very
little to reflect the radar waves emitted by the radar sensor, the system may decide
that the radar sensor is dirty, even if the sensor is not actually dirty. In this case,
switch to the conventional constant speed control mode. (P. 209)
