Distance Warning*
The Distance Warning function (Distance Alert) warns the driver if the time interval to the vehicle ahead becomes too short.
Distance warning is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts to the vehicle ahead travelling in the same direction. No distance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
A warning light is visible in the windscreen and illuminates with a constant glow if the time interval to the vehicle in front is shorter than the preset value.
If the car is fitted with a head-up display* the warning is displayed on the windscreen with a symbol.
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.
