Automatic braking in the event of
an impeded evasive manoeuvre
with City Safety
City Safety
75
has the facility to assist the
driver by automatically braking the car earlier
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by
only steering away.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously
attempting to anticipate whether there are
"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or
stationary vehicle ahead is discovered at a late
stage.
Your car (1) "sees" no options for evading the vehicle
ahead (2) and can therefore auto-brake earlier.

Slow/stationary vehicle
City Safety does not intervene with the auto-
brake function as long as the driver him/
herself has the opportunity to avoid a collision
via a steering manoeuvre.
However, if City Safety anticipates that an
evasive manoeuvre is not possible due to traf-
fic in an adjacent lane, the function can assist
the driver by automatically starting to brake at
an earlier stage.

City Safety brakes for oncoming
vehicles
City Safety can assist the driver to use emer-
gency braking for an oncoming vehicle in
your car's lane.
If an oncoming vehicle enters your car's lane
and a collision is unavoidable, City Safety can
reduce the car's speed with a view to reducing
the violence of the impact.
