  • Even though 'Normal' is selected for Warning Timing, if the front vehicle suddenly stops, the initial warning activation time may seem late.

  • Select 'Late' for Warning Timing when traffic is light and when driving speed is slow.

NOTICE

  • If the engine is restarted, Warning Timing and Warning Volume will maintain the last setting.
