Distance Alert
*
Distance Alert is a function that alerts the driver
if the time interval to the vehicle ahead is too
short.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above approxi-
mately 20 mph (30 km/h) and only reacts to a
vehicle ahead that is driving in the same direc-
tion. No information is provided for vehicles driv-
ing toward you, moving very slowly, or at a stand-
still.
NOTE
Distance Alert only monitors distance to the
vehicle ahead while Adaptive Cruise Control is
in standby mode or off.
WARNING
Distance Alert only indicates the distance to
the vehicle ahead. It does not affect the
speed of your vehicle.
