DRIVER SUPPORT
||
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 is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation. The function is designed to be acti-
vated 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.

The function is not available in all markets.

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.
