NOTE
•
Due to local traffic regulations in certain
markets, RCW will
not activate the rear
turn signals. That part of the function will
be deactivated.
•
The use of the rear turn signals will also
be deactivated if the City Safety warning
level is set at
Later
. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the
article "City Safety settings."
•
If RCW detects a vehicle approaching
from behind, the seat belt pretensioners
and Whiplash Protection System will be
activated.
Limitations
In some circumstances, it may be difficult for
RCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-
sion, such as:
•
In slippery conditions when Electronic
Stability Control is active
•
If the vehicle approaching from the rear is
detected at a late stage
•
If the vehicle approaching from the rear
changes lanes at a late stage
•
If the vehicle approaching from the rear is
moving at a speed above approx. 50 mph
(80 km/h) detected at a late stage

City Safety limitations
City Safety
™
may have limited or reduced func-
tionality in certain situations.
The function has several limitations that the driver
should be familiar with:
Low objects
Hanging objects, such as flags for overhanging
loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights or
front protective grids that extend beyond the
height of the hood may limit City Safety's func-
tion.
Slippery driving conditions
The extended braking distance on slippery roads
may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid a
collision. In situations of this type, the ABS
brakes and Electronic Stability Control will help
provide braking power and stability.
Backlighting
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not
looking straight ahead may make the visual warn-
ing signal in the windshield difficult to see.
