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.
15 This function is not available on all markets.
260
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

Automatic braking during delayed
evasive maneuvers with City
Safety
City Safety 15 can assist the driver by auto-
matically braking the vehicle when it is not
possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically
attempting to predict possible "escape
routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event
a slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to be
detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape
routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2)
and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier
stage.
