circumstancesreplacetheneedfor
vigilanceonthepartofthedriverwho
mustremainincontrolofthevehicleat
alltimes.
Thesystemisnotdesignedforurban
usenorformoredynamicdriving(bends,

between42and93mph(70and
150km/h).

example)arenotdetected.
Thesystemdisplaysinter-vehicletime
valuesofbetween3secondsand0.5of
asecond.
Below0.5ofasecond,thevalue
displayedismaintainedatthislevel,
evenifthetrueinter-vehicletimeisless.
Theactivecruisecontrolmustnot
beselected(theactivecruisecontrol
