City Safety steering assistance for
evasive manoeuvre
City Safety steering assistance can assist the
driver to steer away from a vehicle/obstacle
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by
braking alone.
Your car steers away
Slow moving/stationary vehicles or obstacles.
City Safety engages by amplifying the driver's
steering input, which only occurs after the driver
has begun an evasive manoeuvre - and then only
if the driver is not steering enough to avoid a col-
lision.
In parallel with the amplified steering input, the
brake system is also used to further amplify the
steering input. The function also helps to
straighten the car again after passing the obsta-
cle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
Vehicles
•
cyclists
•
Pedestrians
•
larger animals.
•
WARNING
The ability of City Safety to be able to
•
predict a specific situation is supplemen-
tary driver support intended to improve
driving safety – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
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.
Activate/deactivate
City Safety steering assistance cannot be deacti-
vated but is always activated.
