I never use cruise control. Something else to think about in my situation, I replaced my OEM pads with Cool Carbons S/T. Since the CBS does not know what I installed and the appropriate wear rate for the pad material, how accurate will the CBS be in the future with my new pads? Does the CBS determine remaining pad life on pad thickness measurement or use some type of algorithm that use driving style?
