One bar between the vehicles represents a time
interval of approximately 1 second; 5 bars is
approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears if Adaptive Cruise
Control is activated.
NOTE
•
The greater the vehicles' speed, the
greater the distance between them for a
set time interval.
•
The set time interval is also used by
Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist*.
•
Only use time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
•
A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-
tion occurs in traffic.
