colliding with the vehicle ahead, your speed will
be reduced to that vehicle's speed.

Auto-braking can be cancelled if the driver
presses hard on the accelerator pedal.

City Safety warning level settings

City Safety is always activated but the function's
warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
City Safety cannot be turned off and activates
automatically each time the engine/electric
motor is started.
Setting a warning level (distance)
The distance set for warnings determines the
system's responsiveness and sets the distance at
which visual, audible and tangible (haptic) warn-
ings will be triggered.
To do so:
Settings
1. Tap in the center display's Top

WARNING
•
No automatic system can be guaranteed
to function 100% correctly in all situa-
tions. For that reason, never test City
Safety by driving toward a person or
object. This could result in serious injury
or death.
•
Even if the setting
selected, warnings may be perceived as
being given late, e.g., if the difference in
speed is great or if the vehicle ahead
brakes suddenly.
•
City Safety can provide a warning for a
potential collision but it can never shorten
the driver's reaction time.
