Set time interval to vehicle ahead
It is possible to set the time interval to the
vehicle ahead to be maintained by the adap-
tive cruise control*, Pilot Assist* and Distance
Warning* functions.
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be
selected and shown in the
driver display as 1-5 horizon-
tal lines - the more lines the
longer the time interval. One
line represents about 1 sec-
ond to the vehicle in front, 5 lines represents
about 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display
shows a car and a steering wheel, Pilot
Assist follows a vehicle in front at a preset
time gap.
When only one steering wheel is shown,
there is no vehicle within a reasonable dis-
tance ahead.
NOTE
When the symbol in the driver display
shows two cars, adaptive cruise control is
following the vehicle in front at a pre-set
time interval.
When only one car is shown, there is no
vehicle within a reasonable distance ahead.
Control for time interval.

Distance indicator
Press the steering wheel button (1) or (2)
–
to increase or decrease the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the
current time interval.
DRIVER SUPPORT
The adaptive cruise control allows the time
interval to vary significantly in certain situa-
tions in order to allow the car to follow the
vehicle in front smoothly and comfortably. At
low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time
interval slightly.
NOTE
The higher the speed the longer the
•
calculated distance in metres for a
given time interval.
Only use the time intervals permitted
•
by local traffic regulations.
If the driver supports do not seem to
•
respond with a speed increase when
activated, it may be because the time
window to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the set time window.
WARNING
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 in an
unexpected traffic situation.
* Option/accessory.
