Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The same symbol is also shown when Adap-
tive cruise control (p. 191) is activated.
NOTE
The higher the speed the longer the calcu-
lated distance in metres for a given time
interval.
The set time interval is also used by the
function adaptive cruise control (p. 191).
Only use the time intervals permitted by
local traffic regulations.

Distance Warning* - limitations
Distance Warning (Distance Alert) is a function
that informs the driver about the distance to
vehicles in front. The function uses the same
radar sensor as the Adaptive cruise control
(p. 190) and Collision warning with auto brake
(p. 215), has some limitations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing
sunglasses, could mean that the warning
light in the windscreen cannot be seen.
Poor weather or winding roads could
affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect
vehicles in front.
The size of other vehicles could also affect
detection capacity, e.g. motorcycles. This
could mean that the warning lamp illumi-
nates at a shorter distance than the setting
or that the warning is temporarily absent.
Extremely high speeds can also cause the
lamp to illuminate at a shorter distance
than that set due to limitations in sensor
range.
For further information on radar sensor limita-
tions, see Radar sensor - limitations (p. 200)
and (p. 220).
