WARNING
•
City Safety™ only reacts to vehicles
traveling in the same direction as your
vehicle and does not react to small
vehicles or motorcycles or to people or
animals.
•
City Safety™ is not activated when
your vehicle is backing up.
•
City Safety™ functions at speeds up
to 30 mph (50 km/h). This system can
help prevent a collision if the differ-
ence in speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is less than
9 mph (15 km/h). If the difference in
speed is greater, a collision cannot be
avoided but the speed at which the
collision occurs can be reduced. The
driver must apply the vehicle’s brakes
for full braking effect.
•
City Safety™ will not intervene in a
potential collision situation if the vehi-
cle is being driven actively. The driver
is always responsible for maintaining a
safe distance to a vehicle or object
ahead.
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
2
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.
Using City Safety™
NOTE
The City Safety™ function is activated
automatically each time the engine has
been switched off and restarted.

switch City Safety™ off, such as when driving
in close quarters where leaves, branches, etc.
may obscure the hood and windshield.
When the engine is running, City Safety™ can
