If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation
to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ can
completely prevent a collision.
City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking
and stops the car in normal circumstances,
just behind the vehicle in front. For most dri-
vers this is well outside normal driving style
and may be experienced as being uncomfort-
able.
If the difference in speed between the vehi-
cles is greater than 15 km/h then City
Safety™ may not prevent the collision on its
own. To obtain full brake force, the driver
must depress the brake pedal. This could
then make it possible to prevent a collision,
even at speed differences above 15 km/h.
When the function is activated and brakes,
the combined instrument panel shows a mes-
sage (p. 222) to the effect that the function
is/has been active.
NOTE
When City Safety™ brakes, the brake
lights come on.

City Safety™ - operation
City Safety™ is a function for helping the
driver to avoid a collision when driving in
queues, amongst other things, when changes
in the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in
attention, could lead to an incident.
On and Off
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is always
switched on after the engine has been
started via key position I and II (p. 71).
In certain situations, it may advisable to disa-
ble City Safety™, e.g. where leafy branches
could sweep over the bonnet and/or wind-
screen.
After starting the engine City Safety™ can be
deactivated as follows:
