If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation
to the vehicle in front then City Safety can
completely avoid a collision.
City Safety activates a short, sharp braking
procedure and stops the car in normal cir-
cumstances, just behind the vehicle in front.
For most drivers this is well outside normal
driving style and may be experienced as
being uncomfortable.
If the difference in speed between the vehi-
cles is greater than 15 km/h then City Safety
may not avoid the collision on its own - to
obtain full brake force, the driver must
depress the brake pedal and this could then
make it possible to avoid a collision, even at
speed differences above 15 km/h.
When the function is activated and brakes,
the combined instrument panel shows a text
message to the effect that the function is/has
been active.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake
lights come on.

attention, could lead to an incident.
