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.

Detection of obstacles with City
Safety
City Safety

can help the driver to detect
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes-
trians.
Vehicles
City Safety detect most vehicles that are sta-
tionary or moving in the same direction as the
driver's own car. This function can also detect
oncoming vehicles and cross traffic in certain
cases.
In order that City Safety shall be able to detect
a vehicle in the dark, the vehicle's front and
rear lights must be working and clearly illumi-
nated.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety interprets as a cyclist
— with clear body outline and bicycle outline.
Good performance requires that the system
function that detects a cyclist must receive the
clearest possible information about the body
and bicycle outline, requiring the ability to
identify the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders,
legs, upper and lower body plus a normal
human pattern of movement.
If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle
are not visible to the function's camera then
the system cannot detect a cyclist.
For the function to be able to detect a cyclist,
he/she must be an adult and riding a bicycle
designed for adults.

The function is not available in all markets.
