Adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead

When you are driving with Pilot Assist active, your car will try to adapt its driving speed to that of other vehicles. You can adjust your car's general distance-keeping by adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead using the steering wheel buttons. The car then manages acceleration and braking to maintain that time interval.

Adjust the time interval by pressing the time interval adjustments buttons on your steering wheel's control panel on the left-hand side.

	Decrease the target time interval to vehicles ahead.
	Increase the target time interval to vehicles ahead.

The selected time interval is shown in the time interval indicator in the driver display. The time interval indicator is incorporated in the assisted driving symbol and differs depending on your current level of support.

When adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead, the number of lines will either increase or decrease depending on your adjustment. More lines indicate a longer time interval and greater general distance kept to vehicles ahead, whereas fewer lines indicate the opposite.

Important

Changing driver support settings

Make sure that you understand how changing the car's settings affects its behaviour. It is particularly important when it comes to features that affect the level of assistance the car can provide.

Note

Higher driving speeds may cause the general distance to a vehicle ahead to be longer than during lower speeds, even if the target time interval is the same. This is because the calculated distance becomes larger for the given time interval.
