Setting a time interval
Controls and display
Time interval: Increase/decrease
Time interval On
Press
to increase the interval or
to
decrease it.
Five different time intervals
can be selected and are
shown in the display as 1–5
horizontal bars. The greater
the number of bars, the
longer the time interval. One
bar represents approximately
1 second to the vehicle ahead; 5 bars is
approximately 3 seconds.
•
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
Adaptive Cruise Control, see Adaptive
Cruise Control – setting speed (p. 154).
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.

Distance Alert – limitations
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol and is a function that provides information
about the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor
used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Col-
lision Warning system. See Adaptive Cruise
Control – limitations (p. 159) for more infor-
mation on the radar sensor’s limitations.
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 warn-
ing light illuminating at a shorter dis-
tance than the one that has been set,
or that the light will not come on at all.
