DRIVER SUPPORT
|| 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
The "City Safety in crossing traffic" func-
•
tion is supplementary driver support
intended to improve driving safety – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
Warnings and brake interventions due to
•
a collision risk with an oncoming vehicle
often come very late.
Never wait for a collision warning or for
•
City Safety to intervene.
City Safety is not a substitute for the driv-
•
er'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 distance
to other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
