City Safety steering assistance for
evasive manoeuvre
City Safety steering assistance can help the
driver to steer away from a vehicle/obstacle
when it is not possible to avoid a collision
simply by braking. City Safety steering assis-
tance cannot be switched off, it is always
activated.
Your car steers away.
Slow moving/stationary vehicles or obsta-
cles.
City Safety engages by amplifying the driver's
steering input, which only occurs after the
driver has begun an evasive manoeuvre - and
then only if the driver is not steering enough to
avoid a collision.
In parallel with the amplified steering input,
the brake system is also used to further
amplify the steering input. The function also
helps to straighten the car again after passing
the obstacle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
•
Vehicles
•
cyclists
•
Pedestrians
•
larger animals.

Limitations of City Safety steering
assistance when taking evasive
action
City Safety may have limited functionality in
certain situations and fail to intervene e.g.:
•
outside the speed range 50100 km/h
(3062 mph)
•
if the driver initiates an evasive manoeuvre
•
if the steering servo creating speed-
dependent steering wheel resistance is
working at reduced power – e.g. when
cooling due to overheating.
NOTE
This function uses the car's camera and
radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.
