Introduction
Distance Alert is part of Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol and is a function that provides information
about the time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h). Time interval
information is only given for a vehicle that is
driving ahead of your vehicle in the same direc-
tion. No information is provided for vehicles
driving toward you, moving very slowly, or at a
standstill.
Amber warning light 1 .
An amber warning light in the windshield glows
steadily if your vehicle is closer to the one
ahead than the set time interval.

Distance Alert only indicates the distance to
the vehicle ahead. It does not affect the
speed of your vehicle.
