Distance Warning*
The Distance Warning function (Distance
Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to
the vehicle ahead becomes too short.
Distance Warning is active at speeds above
30 km/h and only reacts to vehicles driving in
front of the car, in the same direction. No dis-
tance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.
