City Safety™
City Safety 75 can alert the driver with light,
sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to
help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists,
large animals and vehicles.
Function overview
Audible signal at risk of collision
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
The function can help the driver avoid a colli-
sion in e.g. stop-and-go traffic, when changes
in the traffic ahead and driver distraction could
lead to an incident. City Safety activates a
brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop
your vehicle immediately behind the vehicle or
object ahead.
75 This function is not available on all markets.
The function assists the driver by automati-
cally applying the brakes if there is an immi-
nent risk of a collision and the driver does not
react in time by braking and/or steering away.
City Safety is activated in situations in which
the driver should have applied the brakes
much earlier, which means that the system
will not be able to assist the driver in all situa-
tions. The function is designed to be activated
as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary
intervention. Automatic braking will only be
applied after or during a collision warning.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not
be aware of City Safety except when the sys-
tem intervenes when a collision is imminent.
