Volvo V70 Owner's Manual page 175

Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
combined instrument panel
as 1-5 horizontal lines - the
more lines the longer the
time interval. One line corre-
sponds to approximately 1 second to the
vehicle in front, 5 lines
approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol is also shown when adap-
tive cruise control is activated.
NOTE
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.
The set time interval is also used by the
Adaptive Cruise Control function, see
page 164.
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
Limitations
The function uses the same radar sensor as
adaptive cruise control and the collision
warning system with auto brake. For more
information on the radar sensor and its limita-
tions, see page 167.

Distance Warning*
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.
Extremely high speeds can also cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance
than that set due to limitations in sensor
range.
