Adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead

Pilot Assist can support you in keeping a set time interval to vehicles ahead. You can adjust the time interval, and through this the general distance, to vehicles ahead with the steering wheel control buttons.

When you are driving with Pilot Assist active, your car will try to adapt its driving speed to that of other vehicles. You can adjust your car's general distance-keeping by adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead using the time interval button on your steering wheel. The car then manages acceleration and braking to maintain that time interval.

The selected time interval is shown in the time interval indicator in the driver display.

Time interval indicator
The yellow horizontal lines are what make up the time interval indicator.

When adjusting the time interval to vehicles ahead, the number of lines will either increase or decrease depending on your adjustment. More lines indicate a longer time interval and greater general distance to vehicles ahead, whereas fewer lines indicate the opposite.

 Important

Changing driver support settings

Make sure that you understand how changing the car's settings affects its behaviour. It is particularly important when it comes to features that affect the level of assistance the car can provide.

Press the time interval button on your steering wheel select your desired time interval to vehicles ahead.
The driver display shows your selected time interval to vehicles ahead.

 Note

Higher driving speeds may cause the general distance to a vehicle ahead to be longer than during lower speeds, even if the target time interval is the same. This is because the calculated distance becomes larger for the given time interval.
