•
late.

•

•
switched off.
If the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpre-
•
dictable manner, for example, abruptly
changes lanes at a late stage.

radar units, which have certain general lim-
itations.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Automatic braking in the event of
an impeded evasive manoeuvre
with City Safety
City Safety 90 has the facility to assist the
driver by automatically braking the car earlier
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by
only steering away.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously
attempting to anticipate whether there are
"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or
stationary vehicle ahead is discovered at a late
stage.
Your car (1) "sees" no options for evading the vehicle
ahead (2) and can therefore auto-brake earlier.
