Distance Warning*
34
The Distance Warning function can assist the
driver to notice that the time interval to the vehi-
cle ahead may be too short.
However, the requirement is that the car is
equipped with a Head-up display to be able to
show Distance Warning, which is then displayed
with a symbol on the windscreen as long as the
time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than
the preselected value.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to the
vehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. No
distance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.

NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.
35
A warning light is visible on the windscreen and
illuminates with a constant glow if the time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset
value.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is
not looking straight ahead may make the vis-
ual warning signal in the windscreen difficult
to recognise.
NOTE
•
Distance Alert is only available on cars
that can display information on the wind-
screen with a Head-up Display.
•
Distance warning is deactivated during
the time the adaptive cruise control is
active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the time win-
dow to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the
preset value – the speed of the driver's vehi-
cle is not affected.
