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 control. The vehicle then manages acceleration and braking to maintain that time interval.

You can adjust the time interval using the driver support control on your steering wheel's left-hand-side control area.

• Decrease the target time interval by moving the driver support control to the left, toward the decrease distance symbol .
• Increase the target time interval by moving the driver support control to the right, toward the increase distance symbol .

The selected time interval appears above the Pilot Assist symbol in the instrument panel.

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 to vehicles ahead. Fewer lines indicate the opposite.

Important

Changing driver support settings

Make sure that you understand how changing your 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.
