Adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead

When you are driving with Pilot Assist active, your car will try to adapt its driving speed to that of other vehicles. You can adjust your car's general distance-keeping by adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead using the steering wheel control. The car 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, towards the decrease distance symbol .
• Increase the target time interval by moving the driver support control to the right, towards the increase distance symbol .

The selected time interval appears above the Pilot Assist symbol in the driver display.

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 the car's settings affects its behaviour. It is particularly important when it comes to features that affect the level of assistance the car can provide.

Note

Higher driving speeds may cause the general distance to a vehicle ahead to be longer than during lower speeds, even if the target time interval is the same. This is because the calculated distance becomes larger for the given time interval.
