driver is always responsible for main-
taining a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper sec-
tion of the windshield. If a collision is imminent,
City Safety™ will automatically apply the
brakes at approximately 50% of the vehicle’s
full braking effect if you are traveling at speeds
between 2-18 mph (4-30 km/h).
•
If the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City
Safety™ can help prevent a collision from
taking place.
•
If the difference in speed is between
approximately 10-18 mph (16-30 km/h),
City Safety™ alone cannot avoid a colli-
sion. The driver must apply the brakes for
full braking effect.
When the function activates and applies the
brakes, a message will appear in the informa-
tion display to indicate that the system is/has
been active.
NOTE
•
When City Safety™ applies the brakes,
the brake lights will illuminate.
•
In cases where City Safety™ has stop-
ped the vehicle, the system will then
release the brakes. The driver must
apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at
a standstill.
Using City Safety™
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is activated auto-
matically each time the engine has been
switched off and restarted.
On and Off
In certain situations, it may be desirable to
switch City Safety™ off, such as when driving
in close quarters where leaves, branches, etc.
may obscure the hood and windshield.
