Distance Alert - Volvo V70 Owner's Manual

General
Distance Alert is a function that informs the
driver about the time interval to vehicles in
front.
Distance alert is active at speeds above
30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving in
front of the car, in the same direction. No dis-
tance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.
A small section of the red warning lamp in the
windscreen illuminates with a constant glow if
the distance to the vehicle in front is shorter
than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert is deactivated during the time
that Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
WARNING
Distance Alert only reacts if the distance to
the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset
value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is
not affected.
Operation
Press the button in the centre console to switch
the function on or off. The function is switched
on if one lamp is illuminated in the button.
