Using the information from the camera 1, this function informs the driver of the time interval between their vehicle and the vehicle in front in order to maintain a safe stopping distance between the two vehicles.

The function is activated when the vehicle speed is between approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) and 93 mph (150 km/h) or 99 mph (160 km/h), depending on the vehicle.

Operation

With the function activated, the warning light 3 is displayed on the instrument panel to inform the driver of the distance between their vehicle and the vehicle in front.

  • A (grey): function not in operation;
  • A (green): no vehicle detected;
  • B (green): the time interval is equal to or greater than approximately two seconds (distance between both vehicles adapted to their speed);
  • C (orange): the time interval is between one and two seconds (insufficient distance between vehicles);
  • D (red): the time interval is equal to or less than approximately one second (very insufficient distance between vehicles).

If the time interval between the two vehicles is less than approximately 0.5 seconds, indicator 3 on display D will remain lit in red on the instrument panel.

Under certain conditions, the time interval may not be displayed:

  • when driving through a bend;
  • when changing lanes;
  • if the vehicle in front is sufficiently far away or out of range of the camera.

Warnings

The measurement is displayed for informational purposes: the system does not perform any action on the vehicle.

This function is not designed for use in urban conditions or in conjunction with a dynamic driving style (cornering, hard acceleration and braking, etc.), but for stable driving conditions.

The function does not interact with the braking system.

To ensure that the system operates correctly, the radar camera must be kept clean and not modified.
