WARNING: The Adaptive Cruise Control Switch and Standard Passenger style Speed Control Switch are mounted identically, have similarities in appearance but function differently. Make sure the vehicle is equipped with either the Standard Passenger style Speed Control System or Adaptive Cruise Control System and ONLY replace with the correct switch during removal and installation procedures. If the Standard Passenger style Speed Control Switch is used to replace an Adaptive Cruise Control switch, then the "Distance Function" of the Adaptive Cruise Control System WILL NOT work, and the system will work as a Standard Speed Control equipped vehicle. The driver will not know that the "Distance Function" of the Active Cruise Control System is not functioning and this could lead to personal and/or fatal injury.
