* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Different time intervals to the

vehicle in front can be

selected and shown in the

display as 1-5 horizontal lines

- the more lines the longer the

time interval. One line corre-

sponds to approximately

1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines approx-

imately 2.5 seconds.

The number of lines for the

selected time interval is

shown during the setting itself

and for several seconds after-

wards. Then a smaller scale

version of the symbol is

shown to the right of the dis-

play. The same symbol is also shown when

adaptive cruise control is activated.

NOTE

The higher the speed, the longer the calcu-

lated distance in metres for a specific time

interval.

The set time interval is also used by the

adaptive cruise control function, see

page 175.

Only use the time interval that is allowed in

accordance with local traffic regulations.

Limitations

The function uses the same radar sensor as

adaptive cruise control and the collision warn-

ing system. For more information on the radar

sensor and its limitations, see page 179.

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 vehi-

cles 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.
