Adaptive cruise control* - set time
interval
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.
To set/change the time distance:
•
Turn the thumbwheel on the steering
wheel keypad (p. 200) (or use the
buttons for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short,
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
07
driver a short time to react and take action if
any unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The same symbol is also shown when Dis-
tance Warning (p. 212) function is activated.
Disengaging and selecting a higher or lower gear does not involve standby mode.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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
be because the time distance to the vehi-
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.
Read more how speed is handled (p. 201).
