Setting a warning distance
This setting determines the distance at which the visual and audible warnings are triggered.
Select Long, Normal or Short by pressing MY CAR on the center console control panel and going to Settings Car settings Driver support systems Collision Warning Warning distance.
The warning distance determines the level of sensitivity used by the system. The warning distance Long provides an earlier warning.
Begin by using Long and if the system gives too many warnings, try changing to Normal.
WARNING
• The setting Short should only be used
in situations where traffic is light and
moving at low speeds.
• Collision Warning alerts the driver to the
risk of a collision but this function cannot
reduce the driver’s reaction time.
• For Collision Warning to be as effective
as possible, it is recommended that Distance
Alert be set to 4 or 5, see
page 164.
NOTE
• When Adaptive Cruise Control is used,
the warning light and signal will be used
by that function, even if the warnings
provided by Collision Warning have
been deactivated by the driver.
• In situations where traffic is moving at
considerably different speeds, or if the
vehicle ahead brakes suddenly, warnings
may be considered to be late, even
if the setting Long has been selected.
