DRIVER SUPPORT

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,
but it cannot detect all large animals in all sit-
uations and, for example, cannot see:
•
partially obscured large animals.
•
larger animals seen from the front or from
behind.
•
large animals that run or move quickly.
•
large animals if the background contrast
of the animals is poor - warning and
brake interventions may then be late or
not occur at all.
•
small animals such as dogs and cats, for
example.
The driver is always responsible that the vehi-
cle is driven correctly and with a safety dis-
tance adapted to the speed.

City Safety in cross traffic
City Safety can help the driver when turning and
crossing the path of another oncoming vehicle at
an intersection.
Sector in which City Safety can detect oncoming
crossing vehicles.
For City Safety to detect an oncoming vehicle on
a collision course, the oncoming vehicle must first
enter the sector in which City Safety can analyse
the situation.
The following further criteria must also be fulfil-
led:
•
your car must be travelling at no less than
4 km/h (3 mph)
•
your car must turn to the left in markets with
right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand
traffic)
•
the oncoming vehicle must have its head-
lamps switched on.
WARNING
•
The "City Safety in crossing traffic" func-
tion is supplementary driver support
intended to improve driving safety – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
Warnings and brake interventions due to
a collision risk with an oncoming vehicle
often come very late.
•
Never wait for a collision warning or for
City Safety to intervene.
•
City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-
er's attention and judgement. The driver
is always responsible for ensuring the car
is driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate distance
to other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
