To set/change the time distance:
•
Increase or decrease with the steering

the adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary noticeably in certain situations
in order to allow the car to follow the vehicle
in front smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if

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-

NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.
If the adaptive cruise control does not
appear to react when activated, this may

cle in front is preventing an increase in
speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.
