Auto Brake
The automatic brake function is activated last.
If in this situation the driver has not yet started to
take evasive action and the risk of collision is
imminent then the automatic braking function is
deployed - this takes place irrespective of
whether or not the driver brakes. Braking then
takes place with full brake force in order to
reduce collision speed, or with limited brake force
if it is sufficient to avoid a collision.
In connection with automatic braking the seatbelt
tensioner may also be activated. For more infor-
mation see the "Seatbelt tensioner" section.
In some situations, the action of Auto-brake may
begin with light braking and then progress to full
brake action.
When City Safety has prevented a collision with a
stationary object, the car remains stationary in
anticipation of positive action by the driver. If the
car has been braked to avoid collision with a
slower vehicle in front, its speed is reduced to
match that of the vehicle in front.
NOTE
On cars with manual gearbox, the engine
stops when the Auto-brake function has stop-
ped the car, unless the driver has managed to
depress the clutch pedal beforehand.
The driver can always interrupt a braking inter-
vention by firmly depressing the accelerator
pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety
™
brakes, the brake lights
come on.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the
vehicle, the driver display shows a text message
to the effect that the function is/has been active.
WARNING
City Safety must not be used as an excuse for
the driver to change his/her driving style. If
the driver relies solely on City Safety to do the
braking, there might be a risk of a collision
sooner or later.

Setting the warning distance for City
Safety
City Safety is always activated, but it is possible
to select the warning distance for the function.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically when the
engine/electric operation is started and
remains switched on until the engine/electric
operation is switched off.
The warning distance determines the sensitivity
of the system and regulates the distance at
which the visual, acoustic and haptic warnings
shall be triggered.
1. Tap on Settings
in top view in the centre
display.
2. Press
My Car IntelliSafe .
3. Under City Safety Warning
, select
Late
,
Normal or Early to set the desired warning
distance.
If the Early setting produces too many warnings,
which could be perceived as irritating in certain
situations, then use the
Normal or Late warning
distance.
If warnings are perceived as being too frequent
or disturbing then the warning distance can be
reduced. This would lead to the system warning
