The City Emergency braking function picks
up, at speeds between 4 km/h (2.5 mph) and
30 km/h (19 mph) approximately, the traffic
situation in front of the vehicle up to a dis-
tance of about 15 m.
If the system detects a possible collision with
a vehicle in front of it, the vehicle prepares
for a possible emergency braking
If the driver fails to react to a possible colli-
sion, the system may brake the vehicle auto-
matically, by progressively increasing braking
effect driving to reduce speed in the event of
a collision. The system can thus help to re-
duce the consequences of an accident.

sible for braking in time.
