Distance alerts can be shown in the head-up display if the time interval to a detected vehicle ahead is shorter than recommended. This can help you to avoid driving too close to vehicles in front of you.
Warning
Never rely on distance alerts from your vehicle as a replacement for safe driving practices. Drive with the same attention to safety that you would need in a vehicle without this feature.
Conditions and limitations
- Distance alerts are active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and can only react to vehicles ahead driving in the same direction as you are. They are not available when reversing.
- No distance information is provided for oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles.
- Distance alerts rely on detection by the front radar. Be sure to read the separate section of this manual about the limitations of radar detection.
- Extremely high driving speeds can cause distance alerts to be delayed due to limitations in the front radar's detection range.
- If the front radar is obstructed, distance alerts are automatically disabled.
Note
Strong sunlight, reflections or high-contrast lighting can sometimes make distance alerts hard to recognize. This can also happen if you are wearing sunglasses, as the alerts are shown using lights in the head-up display.
