Distance Alert
Introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Control and is a function that provides information about the time interval to
the vehicle ahead.
Time interval information is only given for a vehicle that is driving ahead of your vehicle, in the same lane, and in the
same direction. No information is provided for vehicles driving toward you, moving very slowly, or at a standstill.
A smaller section of the red warning light in the windshield glows steadily if your vehicle is closer to the vehicle
ahead than the set time interval.
NOTE
Distance Alert is in active mode while Adaptive Cruise Control is active.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to the vehicle ahead. It does not affect the speed of your vehicle.
Operation
Press the button in the center instrument panel to switch this function on or off. The indicator light in the button
illuminates when the function is on.
