or serious injury.
Setting the Time Gap
The specified time gap has four different
settings, identified by 4 horizontal bars
that represent 4 different time gaps:
• Maximum (longest) time: 4 bars.
• Long time: 3 bars (default time).
• Medium time: 2 bars.
• Short time: 1 bar.
Based on both time gap, selected by the
driver, and the actual vehicle speed, ACC
calculates the distance to keep from the
vehicle ahead.

If another information covering ADAS
visualization in the main area (textual
pop ups, NAVI information, phone call,
etc...) are displayed, the ACC time gap
symbol shall be displayed in the top left
corner for the time the ADAS in the main
area is covered (see detail in picture).

If system does not detect the presence
of any vehicles ahead, only the bars
referred to set time gap will be
displayed.
When system detects the presence of a
vehicle ahead, it is displayed in front of
the bars (see example in the figure).
To increase or decrease the number of
bars, corresponding to the time gap from
vehicle ahead, press and release the
related setting "pulse activation" button.
Each press and release of the button
changes the time gap starting from
3 bars (default time) and moving in a
sequential way towards the minimum
time: 3→2→1→4→3→2→1→4 and so on.
If there is no vehicle ahead, the vehicle
will maintain the set speed. If a slower
moving vehicle is detected in the same
lane, the system displays the target
vehicle icon before the bars.
From that moment, the system adjusts
vehicle speed automatically to maintain
the time gap setting, regardless of the
set speed.
The vehicle will then maintain the set
time gap until:
• The vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed above the set speed.
• The vehicle ahead moves out of your
lane or view of the sensor.
• The time gap setting is changed.
• The driver disables the system.
The maximum braking applied by ACC is
limited; however, the driver can always
apply the brakes manually, if necessary.
Any time the ACC system automatically
operates the brakes, the stop lights will
turn on as if the driver was braking.
A Proximity Warning on display will
alert the driver if ACC predicts that its
maximum braking level is not sufficient
to maintain the set time gap.
