Different time intervals can be
selected and are shown in the
instrument panel
4
as 1–5 hori-
zontal bars. The greater the
number of bars, the longer the
time interval. One bar repre-
sents a time interval of approxi-
mately 1 second; 5 bars is approximately
3 seconds.
To set/change a time interval:
•
Press the
/ buttons (3).
At low speeds, when the distance to the vehicle
ahead is short, ACC increases the time interval
slightly. In order to follow the vehicle ahead as
smoothly as possible, ACC allows the time inter-
val to vary considerably in certain situations.
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.
