WARNING
•The ASL function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving andhelp make it safer – it cannot handle allsituations in all traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• Even if the driver can clearly see thespeed limit sign, the speed informationfrom the Road Sign Information (RSI)function to ASL may be incorrect. In suchcases, the driver must intervene andaccelerate or brake to an appropriatespeed.
• ASL is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
• See also the heading "Road Sign Infor-mation limitations".

• To remove road sign information from the driver display, you must deactivate
both
Automatic Speed Limiter and RSI.
• When the Automatic Speed Limiter func- tion is activated but RSI is deactivated, nowarnings are given from RSI. In this situa-tion, settings for RSI cannot be adjustedeither - to be able to adjust settings aswell as receive warnings, RSI must beactivated.

The Distance Alert 34
function can help the driver
become aware if the time interval to the vehicle in front is too short. However, the vehicle must be equipped with a head-up display in order to display the DistanceAlert, which will then be indicated by a symbolon the windshield as long as the time interval tothe vehicle ahead is shorter than the set timeinterval.
Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead mov-ing in the same direction as your vehicle. No dis-tance information is provided for oncoming, slow-moving or stationary vehicles.
NOTE
• Distance Alert is only available in vehicles that can display information on the wind-shield with a head-up display.
• Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-tive Cruise Control is active.

Setting Adaptive Cruise Controltime intervals Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC 46
) can be set to
various time intervals 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 more bars, the longerthe time interval. One bar rep-resents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds. The same symbol appears when the Distance Alert function is activated.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, ACC is following the vehi-cle ahead at a preset time interval. When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable distance.
Controls for setting a time interval 47
.
Reduce the time interval
Increase the time interval
Distance indicator
–Press the (1) or (2) button to decrease or increase the time interval.
> The distance indicator (3) shows the cur-
rent time interval.
In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possible,Adaptive Cruise Control allows the time intervalto vary noticeably in certain situations. At lowspeeds, when the distance to the vehicle aheadis short, Adaptive Cruise Control increases thetime interval slightly.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them for aset time interval.
• Only use the time intervals permitted bylocal traffic regulations.
• If the Adaptive Cruise Control does notseem to respond with a speed increasewhen activated, it may be because thetime interval to the vehicle ahead isshorter than the set time interval.
WARNING
•Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
• The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.
Setting how ACC should maintain distance
* to the vehicle ahead
A number of different settings can be made for how Adaptive Cruise Control should maintain atime interval to the vehicle ahead. Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE controls.
