204
Different time intervals to the
vehicle in front can be selected
and shown in the combined
instrument panel as 1-5 hori-
zontal lines - the more lines the
longer the time interval. One
line corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 second to the vehicle in front, 5 lines
approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol is also shown when Adaptive
cruise control (p. 207) is activated.
NOTE
The higher the speed the longer the calcula-
ted distance in metres for a given time inter-
val.
The set time interval is also used by the func-
tion adaptive cruise control (p. 207).
Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.

Distance Warning* - limitations
This function, which uses the same radar sensor
as Adaptive cruise control (p. 206) and Collision
warning with auto brake (p. 231), has certain lim-
itations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections or strong varia-
tions in light intensity, as well as wearing sun-
glasses, 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 illuminates
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. 219) and
(p. 236).
