Distance Alert*
The number of bars indicating
the selected time interval are
shown while the setting is
being made and for several
seconds afterward. A smaller
version of the symbol is then
shown to the right in the dis-
play. The same symbol is displayed when
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is activated.
NOTE

•
The higher your vehicle's speed, the
greater the distance to the vehicle
ahead, measured in feet (meters), for a
given time interval.
•
The set time interval is also used by

WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
Limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor
used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-
lision Warning system. See page 168 for more
information on the radar sensor's limitations.
Description
Time interval while it is being set.
Time interval after it has been set.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may
make the visual warning signal in the wind-
shield difficult to see.
WARNING
•
Bad weather or winding roads may
affect the radar sensor's capacity to
detect vehicles ahead.
•
The size of the vehicle ahead, such as a
motorcycle, may also make it difficult to
detect. This may result in the warning
light illuminating at a shorter distance
than the one that has been set, or that
the light will not come on at all.
