eba – emeRgenCy bRake assist
Emergency Brake Assistance helps to
increase brake force and so reduce braking
distance.
eba
is activated when the driver
brakes suddenly. When
eba
is activated
the brake pedal depresses a little more than
usual.
– Press (hold) down the brake pedal for as
long as necessary – all braking ceases if the
pedal is released.
dRiveR suPPoRt system*
City safety™ and Collision warning with
auto-brake & Pedestrian detection*
These functions help the driver to avoid a col-
lision in situations when changes in the traffic
ahead, combined with a lapse in attention,
could lead to an incident.
The function is active at speeds below
50 km/h and helps the driver by monitoring
the traffic ahead with a laser sensor fitted in
the upper part of the windscreen.
City Safety™ can help avoid a collision if the
speed difference between your car and the
vehicle in front is less than 15 km/h.
other driver support systems
In order to help the driver to e.g. brake in time,
maintain a safe distance to other vehicles
and to notice vehicles moving in the same
direction as the car, in the so-called blind
spot, or to maintain a suitable position on the
carriageway, the car can be equipped with a
number of systems:
•
Adaptive cruise control with Queue Assistant*
•
Distance Alert*
•
BLIS – (Blind Spot Information System)*
•
Driver Alert Control*
•
Lane Departure Warning*.
waRning
The driver is always responsible that the
vehicle is driven in a correct manner and with a
safety distance adapted to the speed.
City Safety™ is a driver tool and can never
replace the driver's attention to the traffic or
the responsibility to drive the vehicle in a safe
manner.
Pedestrian detection (detector for pedestrians
in front of the car) gives no warning or brake
intervention at vehicle speeds above 80 km/h
and the function does not work in the dark and
in tunnels.
The function cannot detect a pedestrian who:
•
is partially obscured
•
is shorter than 80 cm tall
•
is wearing clothing that conceals the con-
tours of the body.
See the owner's manual, section "
driver
support
", for more information about the
functions and their limitations.
