WARNING
■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent the sys-
tem being switched on unintentionally.
■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.
City Safe Drive
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
89
Disable / Enable 90
City Safe Drive (hereinafter referred to as: the system) monitors the traffic sit-
uation ahead of the vehicle. If the system detects a risk of collision with an ob-
stacle ahead of the vehicle, then automatic braking is applied. The risk of a col-
lision is thus reduced and the consequences of an impact are minimized.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 85, in section Introduction.
■
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
CAUTION
The system can slow down the vehicle to a standstill. If the vehicle continues
to roll forward after stopping, then it should be stopped with the footbrake.
Operation
Fig. 100 Laser sensor/detection range
Read and observe and on page 89 first.
By means of a laser sensor » Fig. 100 -
the system detects traffic situations
ahead of the vehicle up to a distance of about 10 meters » Fig. 100 -
.
The system interventions take place when a risk of collision is detected as fol-
lows.
▶
The brake system is prepared for an emergency stop.
▶
If the driver fails to respond to a detected danger, an automatic braking ac-
tion is performed.
The system is ready to intervene automatically in the following conditions.
The engine is running.
The system is activated.
The travel speed is about 5-30 km/h.
The field of view of the laser sensor is not impaired.
If the system triggers automatic braking, the indicator symbol flashes
in the
display of the instrument cluster quickly.
Automatic braking interventions by the emergency brake function can be ter-
minated by pressing the clutch or the accelerator or by moving the steering
wheel.
The system can, for example, be affected in the following situations or not
be available.
▶
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
▶
Driving around “sharp” bends.
▶
When fully pressing down the accelerator pedal.
