Driving Aids

Distance Indication and Alert Distance Indication and Alert is a function that provides you with a graphical indication of the time gap to other preceding vehicles traveling in the same direction. TheDistance Indication andAlert screen in the information display shows one of the following graphics.

If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the same direction as yours, or a pedestrian within your driving path, the system is designed to provide three levels of functionality: 1. Alert Alert : When activated, it provides a flashing visual warning and an audible warning sound. Brake Support : Assists the driver in reducing collision speed by preparing the brake system for rapid braking. Brake support does not automatically activate the brakes, but if you press the brake pedal even lightly, brake support can add additional braking up to full force. Active Braking : Active braking may activate if the system determines that a collision is imminent. The systemmay help the driver reduce impact damage or avoid the crash completely. Note: If you perceive Pre-Collision Assist alerts as being too frequent or disturbing, then you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though the manufacturer recommends using the highest sensitivity setting where possible. Setting lower sensitivity would lead to fewer and later system warnings. Note: The Pre-Collision Assist system automatically disableswhen you select 4X4 LOW or when you manually disable AdvanceTrac™. 2. Brake Support 3. Active Braking

E254791 If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is small, a red visual indication displays. Note: Distance Indication and Alert deactivates and the graphics do not display when adaptive cruise control is active.
