Wake turbulence separation

Good day all,

I have a doubt. There are basically two procedures
- Radar separation
- Time based separation

Let's assume we're departing from an airport where separation is based on radar.
Are we supposed to respect the time constraint as well??

Ex: cleared for T/O by tower (I can see on the ND that the preceding ac is at least 5Nm ahead). However, the time constraint (2 or 3min) is not elapsed yet.

Can we take off??

(I presume that is a NO, but I can't find any explicit document)
