Display of inter-vehicle time
using a radar located at the front of the vehicle,
t his system helps the driver maintain a safe
distance between their vehicle and the one in
front, by displaying the current inter-vehicle
time in the instrument panel.
It is the time interval, expressed in seconds,
that separates two vehicles in line.
the
r
ecommended safe value is about 2 seconds:
refer to the legislation or highway code in force
in your country.Activation / deactivation*
F Press this button, the indicator
l amp comes on.
the m
easurement is displayed for
information only: the system takes no
action on the vehicle.
thi
s system does not in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver who
must remain in control of the vehicle at
all times.
the s
ystem is not designed for urban
use nor for more dynamic driving
(bends, acceleration, harsh braking…)
but rather when driving at a steady
speed.
the s
ystem is active in a speed range
between 42 and 93 mph (70 and
150
k
m/h).
Stationary vehicles and certain other
road users (such as bicycles for
example) are not detected.
the s
ystem displays inter-vehicle
time values of between 3 seconds and
0.5 of a second.
Below 0.5 of a second, the value
displayed is maintained at this level,
even if the true inter-vehicle time is less.
the s
tate of the system is memorised when the
ignition is switched off. Activation of the system is done in the " Driving
assistance " menu, with the engine running.
* Depending on version.
Conditions for display
the active cruise control must not be selected
