NOTE
The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a specific time
interval.
The set time interval is also used by the
adaptive cruise control function, see
page 156.
Only use the time interval that is allowed in
accordance with local traffic regulations.

Limitations
The function uses the same radar sensor as
adaptive cruise control and the collision warn-
ing system. For more information on the radar
sensor and its limitations, see page 158.
Specification
Set time interval, during adjustment.
Set time interval, after adjustment.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing
sunglasses, could mean that the warning
light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could affect the
radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles in
front. The size of other vehicles could also
affect detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles.
This could mean that the warning lamp illumi-
nates at a shorter distance than the setting or
that the warning is temporarily absent. In which
case, select a shorter time interval or switch off
the function temporarily.
