Distance Alert*

Distance Alert is a function that alerts the driver if the time interval to the vehicle ahead is too short.

Distance Alert is active at speeds above approximately 18 mph (30 km/h) and only reacts to a vehicle ahead that is driving in the same direction. No information is provided for vehicles driving toward you, moving very slowly, or at a standstill.
