Default Radar cruise distance

Hi All,
i wondered if there's a way to adjust the cruise follow distance for radar.
Even on the lowest settings its just too far away and everyone thinks its an open opportunity to change lanes, then it hits the brakes and beeps, goes to another distance and then another lane changer.
Any way i can program this at all?

Default radar cruise pics


This is when you press cruise on

This is the radar adjust button it goes 3 bars further, 2 and 1. 3 bars is good on interstate highway doing 120 cruising but in city its pretty useless


This is set on 100km/h but theres a car in front doing 94-96km/h and also a pic of how far the car is

This picture is at 115km/h and no cars in front

This is a bit of a video, showing how it works, there was a truck who slowed down, and it pressed the brakes, and/or decel energy recovery to maintain speed. if they brake hard it beeps and brakes and the radar flashes, the little beeps at the end show when you are below 48km/h the radar cruise turns off always.
