Limitations of City Safety steering
assistance when taking evasive
action
City Safety may have limited functionality in cer-
tain situations and fail to intervene e.g.:
outside the speed range 50-100 km/h
•
(30-62 mph)
if the driver initiates an evasive manoeuvre
•
if the steering servo creating speed-depend-
•
ent steering wheel resistance is working at
reduced power – e.g. when cooling due to
overheating.
NOTE
This function uses the car's camera and radar
units, which have certain general limitations.

City Safety when evasive
manoeuvres are prevented
City Safety 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 sta-
tionary 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.
