Recommended maintenance for the
camera/radar sensor
In order for the camera/radar sensor to function
properly, the area of the windshield in front of
the unit must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc.
and should be washed regularly with water and
car washing detergent.
NOTE
Dirt, ice and snow covering the camera and
radar unit reduce their function and can make
measurement impossible.
It could cause functions to be reduced, deac-
tivated completely or produce an incorrect
function response.

City Safetyâ„¢
City Safety can alert the driver with light, sound
and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the
driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals
and vehicles that appear suddenly – the vehicle
will then attempt to automatically brake if the
driver does not act within a reasonable amount
of time.

City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower
the vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver
if a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,
cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision
when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distraction
could lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automatically
applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk of
a collision and the driver does not react in time by
braking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an
attempt to stop your vehicle immediately behind
the vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which the
driver should have applied the brakes much ear-
lier, which means that the system will not be able
to assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late as
possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be
aware of City Safety except when the system
intervenes when a collision is imminent.
