Driver assistance systems
Switch off the City Safety Assist function in
the f
o
l
lowing situations
Switching off the City Safety Assist function is
recommended in the following situations
›››
:
●
While the vehicle is being towed.
●
If the vehicle has been taken to an auto-
m
atic
c
ar wash.
●
If the vehicle is above a test bed.
●
If the laser sensor is faulty.
●
After the laser sensor has been involved in
a collision.
●
When driving off road (overhanging branch-
es).
●
If objects are protruding above the bonnet,
e.g. a load carried on the roof that signifi-
cantly protrudes over the front.
●
If the windscreen is damaged in the laser
sensor area.
WARNING
Failure to switch off the City Safety Assist
function in the abo
ve situations may result in

The City Safety Assist function is limited by
the l
a
w
s of physics and by the nature of the
system itself. For this reason, this may pro-
duce reactions from the City Safety Assist
system in certain circumstances that are late
or unexpected by the driver. For this reason,
always pay due attention and if necessary, in-
tervene.
For example, the following driving situations
require special attention:
Driving through a bend
When entering or leaving a “long” bend, the
vehicle may decelerate when the laser sensor
detects a vehicle travelling in the opposite
lane ››› Fig. 156 A. To interrupt deceleration
you can accelerate, turn the steering wheel or
press the clutch.
Narrow vehicles in front
The laser sensor will only detect narrow vehi-
cles in front if they are in the sensor's detec-
tion zone ››› Fig. 156 B. This applies especial-
ly to narrow vehicles such as motorbikes.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles moving into your lane in close prox-
imity can cause unexpected braking from the
City Safety Assist system
›››
Fig. 157. To inter-
rupt deceleration you can accelerate, turn the
steering wheel or press the clutch.
