Distance Warning*
11
The Distance Warning function can assist the
driver to notice that the time interval to the
vehicle ahead may be too short. This requires
the car to be equipped with a head-up dis-
play* to be able to display Distance Warning.
Distance Warning symbol on the windscreen with
head-up display.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a sym-
bol is shown on the windscreen for as long as
the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the preset value. However, this assumes
that the
Show Driver Support function is
activated via the settings in the car's menu
system.
Distance warning is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to
the vehicle ahead travelling in the same direc-
tion. No distance information is provided for
oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light
contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the
driver is not looking straight ahead may
make the visual warning signal in the wind-
screen difficult to recognise.
NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the
time the adaptive cruise control* or Pilot
Assist* is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the time
window to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the preset value – the speed of the
driver's vehicle is not affected.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
