The C
ity
Emergency braking function picks
up, at speeds between 5 km/h (3 mph) and
30 km/h (19 mph) approximately, the traffic
situation in front of the vehicle up to a dis-
tance of about 10 m.
If the system detects a possible collision with
a vehicle in front of it, the vehicle prepares
for a possible emergency braking ›››
.
If the driver fails to react to a possible colli-
sion, the system may brake the vehicle auto-
matically, by progressively increasing braking
effect driving to reduce speed in the event of
a collision. The system can thus help to re-
duce the consequences of an accident.

Emergency braking function is displayed on

WARNING
The smart technology included in the City
Emergency braking function cannot defy the
laws of physics. The driver is always respon-
sible for braking in time.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
●
The City Emergency braking function alone
cannot prevent accidents or serious injury.
●
In complex driving situations, the City
Emergency braking function may issue unnec-
essary warnings and intervene inopportunely
