2 Second Alert
If  the headway following distance decreases to within two seconds, the driver will be 
alerted with a second yellow LED indicator and the text “2 Seconds” displayed in the 
LCD screen. The DIU will also alert with an audible tone if  the following distance is 
closing in, warning the driver that the following distance is becoming unsafe.
Note:  If a vehicle cuts into your lane in front, but is accelerating away from you, the 
DIU may not warn with an audible tone.
Note:  If Bendix

following or less, the SmartCruise status screen will remain displayed and the 
LED following indicators will illuminate.
Refer to the Bendix

 adaptive cruise control section in this manual for 
more information.
In most driving situations, following at three seconds or less is considered unsafe 
and should warrant the driver to react by slowing the vehicle down in order to 
increase the following distance.
