WARNING
•
The City Safety function is supplementary
driver support intended to help improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
The City Safety auto-brake function can
prevent a collision or reduce collision
speed, but to ensure full brake perform-
ance the driver should always depress the
brake pedal – even when the car auto-
brakes.
•
The warning and steering assistance are
only activated if there is a high risk of col-
lision – you must therefore never wait for
the collision warning or City Safety to
intervene.
•
Warnings and brake interventions for
pedestrians and cyclists are disengaged
at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph).
•
City Safety does not activate auto-braking
intervention during heavy acceleration.
•
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.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual that relate to City
Safety to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system (see
the list of links for all subsections).

City Safety parameters and sub-
functions
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehi-
cle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing the
vehicle's speed using its automatic braking func-
tion.
If the difference in speed is greater than the
speeds specified below, the City Safety auto-
brake function cannot prevent a collision, but it
can help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
vehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed
by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed by
up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a
pedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle's
speed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
