Distance Warning
The Distance Warning function can be set with
different time intervals.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the driver display
as 1-5 horizontal lines - the
more lines the longer the time
interval. One line represents
about 1 second to the vehicle
in front, 5 lines represents about 3 seconds.
The same symbol is also shown when the adap-
tive cruise control function is activated.
The Distance Warning function is only available in cars that can display information on the windscreen with a so-called Head-up display.

The higher the speed the longer the cal-
culated distance in metres for a given
time interval.

The set time window is also used by the
adaptive cruise control and Pilot Assist
functions.

Only use a time window that suits the
current traffic conditions.
•
The driver should be aware that short
time windows limit the amount of time
available to react and take action if an
unexpected traffic situation arises.
