Limitations of City Safety in
crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for
City Safety to help the driver avoid a collision
with crossing traffic.
For example:
On slippery roads when Electronic Stabil-
•
ity Control (ESC) is actively operating.
If an approaching vehicle is detected at a
•
late stage.
If the oncoming vehicle is partially
•
obstructed by another vehicle or object.
If the oncoming vehicle's headlights are
•
off.
If the oncoming vehicle is moving errati-
•
cally and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a
late stage.

NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

City Safety steering assistance for
evasive maneuver
City Safety steering assistance can help the
driver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle

braking alone. City Safety steering assistance
is always activated and cannot be switched
off.

strengthening the driver's steering move-
ments, but only if the driver has begun evasive
action and the system detects that the driver's
steering movements are not sufficient to avoid
a collision.
The brake system is used simultaneously to
further strengthen steering movements. The
