This may not be the correct forum, but cruise seems to be more elctrical than mechanical. I just tried ti use my cruise while it was raining and it wouldn't engage. After some playing around, I discoverd that it worked fine if the windshield wipers were off, but once I turned them on, the cruise would cut out within 6 or 8 "swipes". Has anyone else experienced this? Does it relate to the adaptive feature?

Cancel that - I decided to read the manual and discovered that, for some reason, Infiniti has decided that intelligent cruise won't work with the wipers on. Go figure.

Yes, odd, but true ... I found this in 2 places in the manual a) p.5-26, middle column, 3rd item, 2nd paragraph, and b) p.5-37, middle column, 3rd bullet. Wipers can be on "intermittent" mode, but not on Lo or Hi.

I can only guess that this is done to prevent automatic braking on wet roads from causing a problem like skidding ... more Big Brother, wouldn't want owners to sue Infiniti , stuff.

BTW, when you turn on cruise control, the default is ICC (Intelligent Cruise Control). To activate Conventional Cruise Control you must press and hold the "CRUISE ON/OFF" button for more than 1.5 secs (see p.5-41).

Yes - I noticed that. Thanks

Maybe before I die I'll actually read the whole manual.
