The following further criteria must also be fulfil-
led:
•
your car must be travelling at no less than
4 km/h (3 mph)
•
your car must turn to the left in markets with
right-hand traffic (or to the right in left-hand
traffic)
•
the oncoming vehicle must have its head-
lamps switched on.
WARNING
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all
driving situations, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
Warnings and brake interventions due to a
collision risk with an oncoming vehicle often
come very late.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing the correct distance and speed - never
wait for a collision warning or for City Safety
to intervene.
Limitations in cross traffic
In some cases City Safety may have difficulty
helping the driver deal with collision risks due to
oncoming cross traffic. Examples are:
•
stability control ESC intervenes in the event
of slippery driving conditions
•
if the oncoming vehicle is detected too late
•
if the oncoming vehicle is obscured by some-
thing
•
if the oncoming vehicle has headlamps
switched off
•
if the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpre-
dictable manner, for example, abruptly
changes lanes at a late stage.

City Safety when evasive
manoeuvres are prevented
City Safety has the facility to assist the driver by
automatically braking the car earlier when it is
not possible to avoid a collision by only steering
away.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously
attempting to anticipate whether there are
"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or sta-
tionary vehicle ahead is discovered at a late
stage.
Your car (1) "sees" no options for evading the vehicle
ahead (2) and can therefore auto-brake earlier.

Slow/stationary vehicle
City Safety does not intervene with the auto-
brake function as long as the driver him/herself
