▷ When there is sustained glare due to oncom‐
ing light, for example the sun is low in the sky.
Sensitivity of the warnings
The greater the sensitivity of the warning set‐
tings, for example warning time, the more warn‐
ings will be displayed. As a result, there may be
an increased number of premature or unjustified
warnings and reactions.
Person warning with City
light braking function
Principle
The system can help to avoid accidents with pe‐
destrians and cyclists. If an accident cannot be
avoided, the system helps to reduce the collision
speed.
The system warns of the possible risk of collision
in the urban speed range and brakes automati‐
cally, as necessary.
General
At speeds above approx. 5 km/h, 3 mph, the sys‐
tem warns of the possible risk of collision with
pedestrians and cyclists.
Pedestrians and cyclists are taken into account if
they are located within the detection range of the
system.
The system is controlled using the following sen‐
sors, depending on the equipment:
▷ Camera in the area of the rear-view mirror.
▷ Radar sensor in front bumper.
Detection range
The detection zone in front of the vehicle con‐
sists of two parts:
▷ Central zone, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.
▷ Extended zone, arrow 2, to the right and left
of the central area.
There is a risk of collision if persons are in the
central zone. A warning is only given of persons
in the extended zone if they are moving towards
the central zone.
Safety notes
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess the visibility con‐
ditions and traffic situation correctly. There is a
danger of accidents. Adapt your driving style to
the traffic conditions. Observe the traffic situa‐
tion and intervene actively if the situation war‐
rants it.
WARNING
Displays and warnings do not relieve you of
your personal responsibility. System limitations

are not issued or are issued too late, incorrectly
or without justification. There is a danger of ac‐
cidents. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions. Observe the traffic situation and in‐
tervene actively if the situation warrants it.
