P2583 Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor Single Sensor or Center
General fault on the radar/lidar/camera distance-range sensor used by adaptive cruise control. On systems with a single sensor or three sensors with a center unit, this code refers to the central sensor — without it, ACC distance control is disabled and the system falls back to plain cruise.

Usually safe for short trips, but don’t ignore it: the underlying fault can get more expensive over time.
