NOTE
Distance warning is deactivated during the
time the adaptive cruise control is active.
WARNING
Distance warning only reacts if the distance
to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the preset
value - the speed of the driver's vehicle is not
affected.
Operation
Press the button in the centre console to switch
the function on or off. The function is switched on
if one lamp is illuminated in the button.
Some combinations of the selected equipment
leave no vacant space for a button in the centre
console - in which case, the function is operated
in the car's menu system MY CAR (p. 113) -
once there, search for the Distance Alert func-
tion.
Set time interval
Controls and symbol for time interval.
Time interval - Increase/decrease.
Time interval - On.
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
approximately 1 second to the vehicle in front,
5 lines approximately 3 seconds.
The same symbol is also shown when adaptive
cruise control (p. 203) 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. 204).
Only use the time intervals permitted by local
traffic regulations.
