Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
6
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper
section of the windshield. If a collision is
imminent, City Safety™ will automatically
apply the brakes, which may feel like hard
braking.
If the difference in speed between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle ahead is more than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h), City Safety™
alone cannot prevent a collision from taking
place. The driver must apply the brakes to
help avoid a collision or reduce its effect.
When the function activates and applies the
brakes, a message will appear in the informa-
tion display to indicate that the system is/has
been active.
NOTE
•
When City Safety™ applies the
brakes, the brake lights will illuminate.
•
In cases where City Safety™ has stop-
ped the vehicle, the system will then
release the brakes. The driver must
apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at
a standstill.
