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 (20 mph) and only reacts to the
vehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. No
distance information is provided for oncoming,
slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the
time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance
to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset
value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not
affected.

.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a symbol
is shown on the windscreen for as long as the
time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter than
the preset value. However, this presupposes that
the
Show Driver Support function is activated
via settings in the car's menu system; see the
heading "Head-up display" for how this works.
NOTE
Information on the windscreen may be diffi-
cult to see in strong sunlight and when wear-
ing sunglasses.
