can use lights, sound and a
brake pulse warning to alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehi-
cles that appear suddenly.
Location of the radar unit.
City Safety can help to prevent a collision or
reduce the collision speed.
City Safety is an aid to assist a driver who is at
risk of colliding with a pedestrian, large ani-
mal, cyclist or a vehicle.
The City Safety function can help the driver to
avoid a collision when driving in queues, e.g.
when changes in the traffic ahead, combined
with a lapse in attention, could lead to an inci-
dent.
The function helps the driver by automatically
braking the car in the event of an imminent
risk of collision if the driver does not react in
time by braking and/or swerving.
City Safety activates a short, sharp braking
procedure, normally stopping the car just
behind the vehicle in front.
City Safety is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late
as possible in order to avoid unnecessary
intervention. Automatic braking takes place
only after or at the same time as the collision
warning.
The driver or passengers are not normally
aware of City Safety - it only intervenes in a
situation where a collision is immediately
imminent.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
