8.2.3 Distance setting to the vehicle ahead
WARNING!
– The driver remains responsible for keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle ahead in all situations.
– Adapt the distance to the vehicle ahead to the weather conditions.
The distance between the vehicle and the vehicle ahead is not
automatically adapted by Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) during
different weather conditions (for example fog, snow, heavy rain and so
on). Not keeping a safe distance to the vehicle ahead can lead to very
dangerous situations (like a collision). Not only for the driver but also
for other road users.
Distance to the vehicle driving ahead
When ACC is engaged, the electronics automatically set and keep a distance of 50
metres or 2 seconds to the vehicle driving ahead.
See section 'Advanced vehicle speed settings' in the chapter 'Steering Wheel Switches'
for altering the distance to the vehicle driving ahead.
