City Safety when evasive action is
not possible
City Safety can help the driver by automatically
braking the vehicle sooner if it is not possible to
steer out of a potential collision situation.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously try-
ing to determine possible "escape routes" to the
sides if a slow-moving or stationary vehicle ahead
is detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot "see" any way of veering to
avoid the vehicle ahead (2) and will attempt to auto-
brake sooner
Your vehicle
Slow moving/stationary vehicle
City Safety will not trigger the auto-brake func-
tion as long as the driver has a chance to avoid a
collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an eva-
sive steering maneuver is not possible due to a
lack of space in the adjacent traffic lanes, the
function will attempt to assist the driver by auto-
matically applying the brakes considerably
sooner.
WARNING
City Safety's capacity to assess certain traffic
situations is a supplemental aid to the driver
and does not function in all driving/traffic sit-
uations or weather/road conditions. It can
never replace the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or his/her responsibility for operat-
ing the vehicle in a safe manner.

Messages pertaining to any possible problems
with City Safety will be displayed in the instru-
ment panel.
Troubleshooting and remedial action
Location of the camera and the radar sensor
If a message is displayed in the instrument panel
saying that the camera/radar sensor is blocked,
City Safety cannot detect vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians ahead of you, which means that the
system is not functioning properly.
However, this message will not be displayed in all
situations in which the camera/radar sensor is
obstructed. For this reason, the driver must
ensure that the area of the windshield in front of
the camera/radar sensor is always kept clean.
