City Safety can also detect pedestrians in the
dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-
lamps.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver support,
but it cannot detect all pedestrians in all sit-
uations and, for example, cannot see:
•
partially obscured pedestrians, people in
clothing that hides their body contour or
pedestrians shorter than 80 cm (32 in.).
•
pedestrians if the background contrast of
the pedestrians is poor - warning and
brake interventions may then be late or
not occur at all.
•
pedestrians who are carrying larger
objects.
The driver is always responsible that the vehi-
cle is driven correctly and with a safety dis-
tance adapted to the speed.
Large animals
Optimum examples of what City Safety interprets as
large animals - standing still or walking slowly and with
clear body outline.
Optimal performance requires that the system
function that detects a large animal (e.g. elk and
horse) must receive the clearest possible infor-
mation about the body outline, requiring the abil-
ity to identify the animal directly from the side in
combination with what is a normal pattern of
movement for the animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to the
function's camera then the system cannot detect
the animal.
City Safety can also detect large animals in the
dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-
lamps.
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.
