The distance at which the adaptive cruise con-
trol follows a vehicle in front is determined by
time intervals. A time interval to a vehicle in
front is estab lished and maintained. This pro-
duces a speed-dependent interval. The higher
the speed, the greater the safety interva l in

For example, if the interval DISTANCE 3 is
set, a vehicle in front is fo ll owed at a time in-
terval of 1.8 seconds.

be equivalent to a distance of 131 feet
(40 meters) to the vehicle in front.
The distances given here are nominal values.
The vehicle speed may exceed or fall shor t of
these target speeds, depending on the driving
situation and the driving style of the vehicle
