Setting the warning distance for
City Safety
City Safety

is always activated but the
driver can select the warning distance for the
function.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically when
the engine/electric operation is started and
remains switched on until the engine/elec-
tric operation is switched off.
The warning distance determines the sensitiv-
ity of the system and regulates the distance at
which a visual, acoustic and brake pulse warn-
ing should be deployed.
To select warning distance:
1. Select
Settings My Car IntelliSafe
in the centre display's top view.
2.
Under
City Safety Warning, select either
Late, Normal or Early to set the desired
warning distance.
If the
Early setting produces too many warn-
ings, which could be perceived as irritating in
certain situations, the
Normal or Late warn-
ing distance can be selected.
When warnings are perceived as being too
frequent or disturbing, the warning distance
can be reduced, which reduces the total num-
ber of warnings and instead leads to City
Safety giving a warning at a later stage.
The
Late warning distance should therefore
only be used in exceptional cases, as in
dynamic driving.
WARNING
•
No automatic system can guarantee
100% correct function in all situations.
Therefore, never test City Safety by
driving at people, animals or vehicles -
this may cause severe damage and
injury and risk lives.
•
City Safety warns the driver when
there is a risk of a collision, but it can-
not shorten the driver’s reaction time.
•
Even if the warning distance has been
set to
Early warnings could be per-
ceived as being late in certain situa-
tions, e.g. when there are large differ-
ences in speed or if vehicles ahead
suddenly brake heavily.
•
With the warning distance set at
Early,
the warnings will come more in
advance. This may mean that the warn-
ings come more frequently than at the
warning distance Normal, but it is rec-
ommended since it can make City
Safety more effective.

The function is not available in all markets.
