Setting a time interval The buttons for setting a time interval are located on the left side of the steering wheel (see the illustration on page 160). Press to increase the interval or to decrease it. Five different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal bars. The greater the number of bars, the longer the time interval. 166 04 Comfort and driving pleasure Distance Alert The number of bars indicating the selected time interval are shown while the setting is being made and for several seconds afterward. A smaller version of the symbol is then shown to the right in the display. The same symbol is also displayed when Adaptive Cruise Control is activated. NOTE The higher your vehicle's speed, the greater the distance to the vehicle ahead, measured in feet (meters), for a given time interval. The set time interval is also used by Adaptive Cruise Control, see page 161. WARNING Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions. Limitations The Distance Alert function uses the same radar sensor used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Collision Warning system. See page 162 for more information on the radar sensor's limitations. 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 windshield difficult to see.
