The City Safety Assist function is limited by
the l
aws of physics and by the nat
ur
e of the
system itself. For this reason, this may pro-
duce reactions from the City Safety Assist
system in certain circumstances that are late
or unexpected by the driver. For this reason,
always pay due attention and if necessary,
intervene.
For example, the following driving situa-
tions require special attention:
Driving through a bend
When entering or leaving a “long” bend, the
vehicle may decelerate when the laser sen-
sor detects a vehicle travelling in the opposite
lane
›››
Fig. 172 A. To interrupt the decelera-
tion, you can step on the gas pedal, turn the
steering wheel or operate the clutch.
Narrow vehicles in front
The laser sensor will only detect narrow vehi-
cles in front if they are in the sensor's detec-
tion zone
›››
Fig. 172 B. This applies particu-
larly to narrow vehicles such as motorcycles.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles moving into your lane in close prox-
imity can cause unexpected braking from the
City Safety Assist system
›››
Fig. 173. To inter-
rupt deceleration you can accelerate, turn
the steering wheel or press the clutch.
Possible malfunction in the laser sensor
If laser sensor operation is impaired, for ex-
ample due to heavy rain, mist, snow or dirt,
the City Safety Assist system function is tem-
porarily switched off. On the instrument panel
display the control lamp flashes.
When the fault in the laser sensor has been
rectified, the City Safety Assist system func-
tion automatically becomes available again.
The control lamp switches off.
The following conditions could prevent the
City Safety Assist system from functioning:
●
Tight bends.
●
Accelerator pressed all the way down to
the floor.
●
If the City Safety Assist system is switched
off or there is a fault

page 175.
●
If the laser sensor is dirty, covered or over-
heated
›››
page 176.
●
In the event of snow, heavy rain or dense
fog.
●
If there are vehicles in front.
●
Vehicles changing lanes.
●
Vehicles moving in the opposite direction in
the same lane.
●
Very dirty vehicles with a low degree of re-
flection.
●
Presence of thick dust.
