Automatic braking during delayed
evasive maneuvers with City
Safety
City Safety
60
can assist the driver by auto-
matically braking the vehicle when it is not
possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically
attempting to predict possible "escape
routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event
a slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to be
detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape
routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2)
and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier
stage.

Slow-moving/stationary vehicles
City Safety will not intervene to automatically
apply the brakes if it is possible for the driver
to avoid a collision by steering the vehicle.
However, if City Safety determines that an
evasive maneuver would not be possible due
to traffic in the adjacent lane(s), the function
can assist the driver by automatically starting
to apply the brakes at an earlier stage.
