DRIVER SUPPORT

City Safety™
City Safety
89
can use lights, sound and a
brake pulse warning to alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehi-
cles.
Function overview
Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Warning signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Distance measurement with the camera
and radar unit
The function can help the driver avoid a colli-
sion when, for example, driving in heavy traf-
fic, where changes in the traffic ahead coupled
with inattentiveness can lead to an incident.
City Safety then activates brief, heavy braking
and the car normally stops just behind the
vehicle in front.
The function helps the driver by automatically
braking the car in the event of an imminent
risk of collision if the driver does not react in
time by braking and/or swerving.
City Safety is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation. The function is designed to be acti-
vated as late as possible in order to avoid
unnecessary intervention. Automatic braking
takes place only after or at the same time as
the collision warning.
The driver or passengers are not normally
aware of City Safety - it only intervenes in a
situation where a collision is immediately
imminent.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
