Adaptive Cruise Control can exert brake force that is equivalent to approximately 40% of thevehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide and if the driver does not applythe brakes, an audible signal from the City Safetysystem will sound and warning light will illuminatein the windshield to alert the driver to react.
NOTE
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver isnot looking straight ahead may make the vis-ual warning signal in the windshield difficult tosee.

Setting an Adaptive Cruise Control time interval
ACC makes it possible to set various time inter- vals to the vehicle ahead.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The greater the number ofbars, the longer the time inter-val. One bar between the vehi-
cles represents a time interval of approximately1 second; 5 bars is approximately 3 seconds. The same symbol appears if Distance Alert is activated.
• If the symbol shows two vehicle's, ACC is actively following the vehicle ahead.
• If only one vehicle is displayed, ACC is
not
actively following another vehicle.

In order to follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible, ACC allows the time interval to varyconsiderably in certain situations. At low speeds,when the distance to the vehicle ahead is short,ACC increases the time interval slightly. • If ACC does not seem to react when it is put in active mode, this may be because the set
