SAFE DISTANCE ALERT
A

D
Operation
With the function activated, the 8 in-
dicator is displayed on the instrument
panel and informs the driver of the dis-
tance between their vehicle and the ve-
hicle in front.
– A (grey): function not operational;
– A (green): no vehicle detected;
– B (green): the time interval is greater
than or equal to around two seconds
(distance between the two vehicles
adapted to your speed);
(3/4)
– C (orange): the time interval falls be-
tween around 1 and 2 seconds (in-
8
sufficient distance between the two
vehicles);
– D (red): the time interval is less than
or equal to around one second (very
insufficient distance between the two
vehicles).
If the interval between the two vehi-
cles is less than approximately 0.5 sec-
onds, the 8 indicator and the D display
will flash in red on the instrument panel
along with "-.- s".
Under certain conditions, the time inter-
val may not be displayed:
– while cornering;
– when changing lane;
– if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far
or outside the range of the radar or
camera.
The measurement is dis-
played for information: the
system does not carry out
any action on the vehicle.
This function is not designed for use
in urban conditions or for a dynamic
driving style (sudden cornering, ac-
celeration, braking, etc.), but rather
for stable driving conditions.
The function does not interact with
the braking system.
The radar and camera zones must
be kept clean and free of any tam-
pering in order to ensure the proper
operation of the system.
Any work carried out in the area
where the radar or camera is lo-
cated (repairs, replacements, wind-
screen and/or bumper modifica-
tions, etc.) must be carried out by a
qualified professional.
