City Safety braking for oncoming
vehicles
City Safety can help you apply the brakes for an
oncoming vehicle in your lane.
If an oncoming vehicle veers into your lane and a
collision is unavoidable, City Safety can help
reduce your vehicle's speed to attempt to miti-
gate the force of the collision.

Oncoming vehicles
The following criteria must be met for the func-
tion to work:
•
your vehicle's speed must be above 4 km/h
(3 mph)
•
the road must be straight
•
your lane must have clear side lane markings
•
your vehicle must be positioned straight in
your lane
•
the oncoming vehicle must be positioned
within your vehicle's lane markings
•
the oncoming vehicle's headlights must be
on
•

collisions
•
the function can only detect vehicles with
four wheels
•
the function requires functioning Electric
Seat Belt Tensioners (see section “Seat

eral limitations; see sections "Camera limita-
tions" and "Radar sensor limitations".
WARNING
•
The "City Safety braking for oncoming
vehicles" function is supplementary driver
support intended to help improve driving
safety – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
•
Warnings and brake interventions due to
an imminent collision with an oncoming
vehicle always come very late.
•
Never wait for a collision warning or for
City Safety to intervene. If you notice any
hazard or other potentially dangerous sit-
uation, always fully apply the brakes.
•
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.
