Black domes in side front grilles?

Post by Ceveman73 » Fri Mar 18, 2016 10:41 am

Ive noticed that some cars have the black domes on each side of the front grille, whilst others haven't. Can anyone shed any light on what these are? They look like some kind of sensor?

Cheers.

Im sure they are for the radar cruise and anti collision auto brake system. Pre sense plus I think

Yes, the domes are the radar sensors for ACC and collision avoidance.

Correct, they are for the apadtive cruise etc. Come as part of the advanced assistance package or whatever its called.

Edit: beat me to it.
