Setting time interval to the vehicle
ahead
The time interval to the vehicle ahead can be
set for the functions Adaptive Cruise Control*,
Pilot Assist* and Distance Alert*.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle ahead can be selected
and are shown in the instru-
ment panel as 1–5 horizontal
bars. The more bars, the
longer the time interval. One
bar represents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 bars
represents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel
shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, Pilot
Assist follows a vehicle ahead at a preset
time interval.
When only a steering wheel is shown,
there is no vehicle ahead within a reasona-
ble distance.

NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel
shows two vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol is following the vehicle ahead at a pre-
set time interval.
When only one vehicle is shown, there is
no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-
tance.
Controls for setting a time interval.
Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or
–
increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the
current time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle
ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possi-
ble, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations.
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-
cle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Control
increases the time interval slightly.
NOTE
The greater the vehicles' speed, the
•
greater the distance between them for
a set time interval.
Only use the time intervals permitted
•
by local traffic regulations.
If driver support does not seem to
•
respond with a speed increase when
activated, it may be because the time
interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the set time interval.
WARNING
Only use a time interval suitable for the
•
current traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that short
•
time intervals give them limited time to
react and act to any unforeseen traffic
situation.
