Setting a time interval
The buttons for setting a time interval are located on the left side of the steering wheel (see the illustration on page
160). Press to increase the interval or to decrease it.
Five different time intervals can be selected and are shown in the display as 1-5 horizontal bars. The
greater the number of bars, the longer the time interval.

Distance Alert
The number of bars indicating the selected time interval are shown while the setting is being made and for several
seconds afterward. A smaller version of the symbol is then shown to the right in the display. The same symbol is also
displayed when Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
NOTE
The higher your vehicle's speed, the greater the distance to the vehicle ahead, measured in feet (meters), for a
given time interval.
The set time interval is also used by Adaptive Cruise Control, see page 161.
WARNING
Only use a time interval that is suitable in current traffic conditions.
Limitations
The Distance Alert function uses the same radar sensor used by Adaptive Cruise Control and the Collision Warning
system. See page 162
for more information on the radar sensor's limitations.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light contrasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not looking straight
ahead may make the visual warning signal in the windshield difficult to see.
WARNING
ProCarManuals.com
Page 157 of 274
Bad weather or winding roads may affect the radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead.
The size of the vehicle ahead, such as a motorcycle, may also make it difficult to detect. This may result in the
warning light illuminating at a shorter distance than the one that has been set, or that the light will not come on at all.

Collision Warning with Auto-brake (option)
Introduction
Collision Warning with Auto-brake is designed to assist the driver if there is a risk of a collision with the vehicle
ahead, if that vehicle is at a standstill or moving in the same direction as your vehicle. Auto-brake helps reduce the
collision speed.
Collision Warning consists of the following three functions:
1. Collision warning
The driver is warned of the imminent risk of a collision.
2. Brake support
This helps the driver brake efficiently in a critical situation.
3. Auto-brake
This function brakes the vehicle automatically if a collision cannot be avoided.
WARNING
The auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision but is instead intended to reduce speed at the moment of impact.
For full braking effect, the driver must apply the brakes.

on the camera or cause these systems to temporarily stop functioning.
Never place any objects, decals, etc., on the windshield in front of the camera. This could reduce or block the
camera's function, and could cause one or more of the systems that utilize the camera to stop functioning.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road surface, a dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker lines may
drastically reduce the camera's capacity to detect the side of a lane or another vehicle.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message Camera blocked See manual is displayed, this means that the camera is obscured and cannot detect
vehicle or road marker lines in front of the vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and Driver Alert Control will
not have full functionality.

DAC is designed to help detect a slowly changing driving pattern. It is primarily intended to be used on main roads
and is not meant for use in city traffic.
WARNING
DAC is not intended to extend the duration of driving. Always plan breaks at regular intervals to help remain
alert.
In certain cases, fatigue may not affect the driver's behavior. In situations of this type, no warning will be
provided. Therefore, it is important to take breaks at regular intervals, regardless of whether or not DAC has given a
warning
Limitations
In certain situations, DAC may provide warnings even if the driver's driving pattern has not become erratic.

The function is activated when the vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h). The display will show level markings
of 1-5 bars, where a low number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high number of bars indicates stable driving.
If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the driver will be alerted by an audible signal and the message Driver Alert,
Time for a break is displayed. The warning will be repeated after a short time if the driving pattern remains the same.
WARNING
An alert should be taken seriously since it is sometimes difficult for a driver to realize that he/she is fatigued.
In the event of a warning or if the driver feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible in a safe place and rest.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)-general information
ProCarManuals.com
Page 165 of 274
This function is designed to help reduce the risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle leaves its lane and there is
a risk of driving off the road or into the opposite lane.
LDW consists of a camera that monitors the lane's side marker lines. The driver is alerted by an audible signal if the
vehicle crosses a side marker line or the road's center dividing line.
Operation and function
LDW can be switched on or off by pressing the button on the center console. A light in the button illuminates when the
function is on.
The trip computer display shows Lane Depart Warn Unavailable when the function is in standby mode.
When LDW is in standby mode, the function is activated automatically after the camera has monitored the road's side
marker lines and the vehicle's speed exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h). Lane Depart Warn Available will be displayed.
If the camera can no longer monitor the road's side marker lines, or if the vehicle's speed falls below 37 mph (60
km/h), LDW will return to standby mode and Lane Depart Warn Unavailable will be displayed.
If the vehicle unexpectedly crosses the lane's left or right side marker lines, the driver will be alerted by an audible
signal.
No warning signal will be given in the following situations:
The turn signal is being used
The driver's foot is on the brake pedal1
The throttle pedal is pressed quickly
If the steering wheel is moved quickly
In sharp turns that cause the vehicle's body to sway.
The camera also has certain limitations. See page 170
for information.

ultrasound sensors located in one or both bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle, object, or a person who may
be close to the front or rear of your vehicle.
This system is available in the rear bumper only, or in both the front and rear bumpers.
Park assist utilizes four ultrasound sensors in the bumper(s) to measure the distance to a vehicle, object, or a person
