DRIVER SUPPORT
|| Driver intervention
Reversing
When your own car is reversing, City Safety is
temporarily deactivated.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds -
below 4 km/h (3 mph) - and the system there-
fore does not intervene in situations where your
car is approaching a vehicle ahead very slowly,
e.g. when parking.
Active driver
Driver commands are always prioritised, which is
why City Safety does not intervene or postpone
warning/intervention in situations where the
driver is steering and accelerating in a decisive
manner, even if a collision is unavoidable.
Active and aware driving behaviour can therefore
delay a collision warning and intervention in order
to minimise unnecessary warnings.

Miscellaneous
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could
•
be implemented late or not at all if a traf-
fic situation or external influences mean
that the camera and radar unit cannot
detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals
or vehicles correctly.
For vehicles to be detected at night, their
•
headlamps and rear lamp cluster must be
switched on and shining clearly.
The camera and radar unit has a limited
•
range for pedestrians and cyclists. The
system can provide effective warnings
and brake interventions as long as the
relative speed is below 50 km/h
(30 mph). For stationary or slow-moving
vehicles, warnings and brake interven-
tions are effective at vehicle speeds up to
70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction for
large animals is less than 15 km/h
(9 mph) and can be achieved at vehicle
speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph). The
warning and brake intervention for large
animals is less effective at lower speeds.
Warnings for stationary or slow-moving
•
vehicles and large animals could be dis-
engaged due to darkness or poor visibil-
ity.
Warnings and brake interventions for
•
pedestrians and cyclists are deactivated
at vehicle speeds exceeding 80 km/h
(50 mph).
Do not place, stick or mount anything on
•
the outside or inside of the windscreen in
front of or around the camera and radar
unit — this can interfere with camera-
dependent functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area of
•
the camera sensor may reduce its func-
tionality, fully deactivate it or give incor-
rect function response.
NOTE
The function uses the car's combined Camera
and Radar unit, which has certain general lim-
itations – see the sections "Limitations for
Camera Unit" and "Limitations for Radar Unit"
respectively.
Market limitation
City Safety is not available in all countries. If City
Safety does not appear in the centre display's
Settings menu, the car is not equipped with this
function.
