A guidance tool guides movement of an adjustment tool toward an adjustment member of an autonomous cruise control (ACC) assembly. The ACC assembly is moveably coupled to a vehicle body, and the adjustment member is adjustable with the adjustment tool to change a position of the ACC assembly relative to the vehicle body. The guidance tool includes an attachment member that removably attaches to the ACC assembly. The guidance tool also includes a guide surface that guides the adjustment tool toward the adjustment member when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly.

1. A guidance tool for guiding movement of an adjustment tool toward an adjustment member of an autonomous cruise control (ACC) assembly, the ACC assembly being moveably coupled to a vehicle body, the adjustment member being adjustable with the adjustment tool to change a position of the ACC assembly relative to the vehicle body, the guidance tool comprising: an attachment member that removably attaches to the ACC assembly; anda guide surface defining a passageway that opens to the adjustment member when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly, the guide surface receiving the adjustment tool such that at least part of the adjustment tool travels through the passageway and engages the adjustment member. 2. The guidance tool of claim 1, wherein the attachment member snap-fits to the ACC assembly. 3. The guidance tool of claim 2, wherein the attachment member includes a first clip and a second clip that cooperate to compress the ACC assembly to snap-fit to the ACC assembly. 4. The guidance tool of claim 3, wherein the first clip includes a first end and the second clip includes a second end, the first and second ends extending generally toward each other to retain the attachment member to the ACC assembly. 5. The guidance tool of claim 1, wherein the ACC assembly includes a sensor surface, a sensor beam being transmitted to or from the sensor surface, and further comprising a cover member that covers the sensor surface when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly. 6. The guidance tool of claim 5, wherein the cover member is hollow and has a general shape of a spherical cap. 7. The guidance tool of claim 1, wherein the vehicle includes a facia with an outer surface, wherein the adjustment member is recessed below the outer surface of the facia, wherein the guide surface projects outward from the outer surface of the facia when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly. 8. The guidance tool of claim 1, wherein the passageway is at least one hollow tube, an interior surface of the at least one hollow tube defining the guide surface, an axis of the at least one hollow tube being substantially co-axially aligned with the adjustment member when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly. 9. The guidance tool of claim 8, wherein the at least one hollow tube includes an end that is tapered outward. 10. The guidance tool of claim 8, wherein the at least one hollow tube includes a first end and a second end, the first end extending annularly and continuously about the axis, the second end including an opening such that the second end extends only partially about the axis. 11. The guidance tool of claim 8, wherein the at least one hollow tube includes a first hollow tube and a second hollow tube, the first hollow tube defining a first guide surface that guides the adjustment tool toward a first adjustment member, the second hollow tube defining a second guide surface toward a second adjustment member. 12. The guidance tool of claim 11, further comprising a grip member that extends between the first and second hollow tubes, the grip member operable for grasping when removably attaching the attachment member to the ACC assembly. 13. The guidance tool of claim 12, wherein the grip member, the first and second hollow tubes, and the attachment member are integrally connected so as to be monolithic. 14. The guidance tool of claim 1, wherein the passageway is at least one hollow tube, an interior surface of the at least one hollow tube defining the guide surface, an axis of the at least one hollow tube being substantially aligned with the adjustment member such that the axis intersects the adjustment member when the attachment member is removably attached to the ACC assembly.
