Setting desired distance
The desired distance from the vehicle in front
can be set by the driver in four stages. The
distance set by the ACC is governed by the
respective vehicle speed. The distance
increases with increasing vehicle speed.
The minimum setting ensures compliance
with the permissible safety distance when
travelling at a constant speed in traffic.
The desired distance from the vehicle in front
is set by means of the sliding switch on the
stalk. Actuation of the switch increases or
reduces the distance by one stage each time.
The desired distance selected determines the
vehicle acceleration dynamics.
The chosen distance is briefly indicated on
the info line in the speedometer centre
display.
The centre display is activated the first time
the button is pressed.
The number of bars between the vehicles
displayed corresponds to the distance stage
selected in each case.
The distance stage can be set for each driver.
Design and operation of the ACC are
described in SSP 289 – Adaptive Cruise
Control.
Pay attention to operating instructions
and manuals.
