Adaptive cruise control
*
- set time
interval
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the combined
instrument panel as 1-5 hori-
zontal lines - the more lines the
longer the time interval. One
line corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines
approximately 3 seconds.
To set/change the time distance:
•
Turn the thumbwheel on the steering wheel
keypad (p. 200) (or use the
/ buttons
for cars without Speed limiter).
At low speed, when the distances are short, the
adaptive cruise control increases the time interval
slightly.
The adaptive cruise control allows the time inter-
val to vary noticeably in certain situations in order
to allow the car to follow the vehicle in front
smoothly and comfortably.
Note that a short time interval only allows the
driver a short time to react and take action if any
unforeseen traffic problem should arise.
The same symbol is also shown when Distance
Warning (p. 195) function is activated.
NOTE
Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.
If the adaptive cruise control does not appear
to react when activated, this may be because
the time distance to the vehicle in front is pre-
venting an increase in speed.
The higher the speed the longer the calcula-
ted distance in metres for a given time inter-
val.
Read more how speed is handled (p. 201).
