Adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead

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

Adjust the time interval by pressing the time interval adjustments buttons on the control panel on the left side of the steering wheel.

	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 instrument panel. 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, while fewer lines indicates the a shorter time interval and general distance.

Important

Changing driver support settings

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

Note

When driving at higher speeds, the general distance to a vehicle ahead will be longer than when driving at lower speeds, even if the target time interval is the same. This is because the calculated distance becomes longer for the given time interval.
