Where is the Cruze reversing radar located?
2 Answers
The Cruze reversing radar is positioned at the central control screen and activates automatically when the reverse gear is engaged. The reversing radar serves as a crucial driver assistance system, initiating during reverse maneuvers to aid drivers in gauging the distance between the vehicle and obstacles. The radar's sensors emit sound waves that bounce back upon encountering obstacles. The Cruze is a compact car under SAIC-GM Chevrolet, featuring a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. In terms of dimensions, the vehicle measures 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've been driving a Cruze for many years. The reverse radar sensors are installed on the rear bumper, about 50 cm from the ground. There are four small circular dots in total, two on each side. Last time I washed the car, I noticed they easily get covered in mud. When dirty, they give false alarms, so I have to clean them frequently. The controller is tucked behind the right-side trim panel in the trunk—a small black box with a wiring harness connector. I saw it when I opened it up during a stereo upgrade. If the radar suddenly stops working, don't rush to reinstall the system. First, check the 10-amp fuse labeled 'RPA' in the fuse box behind the small storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel. If you don't hear beeps when reversing, it's likely either a blown fuse or a loose sensor connector.
