City Safety steering assistance for
evasive maneuver
City Safety steering assistance can help the
driver steer away from vehicles or obstacles
when a collision cannot be avoided by braking
alone.
Your vehicle swerves away
Slow-moving/stationary vehicle or obstacle.
City Safety helps provide assistance by strength-
ening the driver's steering movements, but only if
the driver has begun evasive action and the sys-
tem detects that the driver's steering movements
are not sufficient to avoid a collision.
The brake system is used simultaneously to fur-
ther strengthen steering movements. The func-
tion also helps stabilize the vehicle after it has
passed the obstacle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
•
vehicles
•
cyclists
•
pedestrians
•
large animals
WARNING
•
The possibility of City Safety predicting a
certain situation is supplementary driver
support intended to improve driving safety
– it cannot handle all situations in all traf-
fic, weather and road conditions.
•
City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
Activating/deactivating
City Safety's steering assistance is always active
and cannot be switched off.

City Safety steering assistance
limitations during evasive
maneuvers
City Safety steering assistance may have limited
functionality in certain situations and not inter-
vene, e.g.:
•
at speeds outside the range of 50-100 km/h
(30-62 mph)
•
if the driver does not take evasive action
•
if the power steering works at reduced power
- e.g. during cooling due to overheating (see
section "Speed-dependent steering force").
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's combined
camera and radar unit, which has certain gen-
eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
