interval.
The set time interval is also used by the
adaptive cruise control function, see
page 159.
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.

NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing
sunglasses, could mean that the warning
light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could affect the
radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles in
front. The size of other vehicles could also
affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles.
This could mean that the warning lamp illumi-
nates at a shorter distance than the setting or
that the warning is temporarily absent. In which
case, select a shorter time interval or switch off
the function temporarily.
