Active Cruise control
Discussion
Just bought a 2017 Skoda Rapid SE Sport Spaceback and it has a black box in the middle of the front bumper. Does this mean it has the above? I ask as I tried the cruise control, but bottled out getting too close to the car in front just in case
. If it’s not for the cruise, what’s it for?
. If it’s not for the cruise, what’s it for?Photo?
May just be emergency braking sensor for “Front Assist” rather than ACC, but that is a pretty common fitment, what comes up on the instrument display when you turn CC on? On/Off/Cancel on the indicator stalk is standard CC only. ACC has its own stalk on the left of the steering column.
www.Briskoda.net is a good place to confirm on the Rapid board.

If it had adaptive cruise you'd have a stalk to select the following distance etc. It would be pretty obvious.
The thing in the bumper is a radar but it's only used for the emergency braking / front assist if you don't have adaptive cruise.
It may be possible to retrofit adaptive cruise (maybe even just via software and a switch) but you'd have to look it up on Briskoda as VAG have made these upgrades much more difficult in the past few years.
