Setting a Pilot Assist time interval
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can
be selected and are shown in the instrument
panel as 1–5 horizontal bars.
Changing the time interval
The greater the number of bars,
the longer the time interval.
One bar between the vehicles
represents a time interval of
approximately 1 second; 5 bars
is approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol appears if Distance Alert is
activated.

Distance indicator
In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly
as possible, Pilot Assist allows the time interval to
vary considerably in certain situations. At low
speeds, when the distance to the vehicle ahead
is short, Pilot Assist increases the time interval
slightly.
•
If Pilot Assist does not seem to react when it
is put in active mode, this may be because
the set time interval to the vehicle ahead
does not allow an increase in speed.
•
The higher the speed, the greater the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead for a given time
interval.
WARNING
•
Only use a time interval that is suitable in
current traffic conditions.
•
A short time interval gives the driver lim-
ited reaction time if an unexpected situa-
tion occurs in traffic.
