Driver assistance systems
The City Emergency braking function picks
up, at speeds between approximately 4 km/h
(2.5 mph) and 30 km/h (19 mph), the traffic
situation in front of the vehicle.
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.

WARNING
The smart technology included in the City
Emergency braking function cannot defy the
laws of physics. The driver is always respon-
sible for braking in time.
Adapt your speed and safe distance to the
●
vehicle in front of you at all times to suit visi-
bility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
The City Emergency braking function alone
●
cannot prevent accidents or serious injury.
● In complex driving situations, the City
Emergency braking function may issue unnec-
essary warnings and intervene inopportunely
in braking, such as in work areas or if there
are metal rails.
›››
.
● If the operation of the City Emergency brak-
ing function is impaired, for example, by dirt
or because the radar sensor has lost its set-
tings, the system may issue unnecessary
warnings and intervene inopportunely in the
braking.
● During driving, the City Emergency braking
function does not react to people or animals
or vehicles crossing your path or which ap-
proach you head-on in the same lane.
Note
● When the City Emergency braking function
causes a braking, the brake pedal is "hard-
er".
● Automatic interventions on the brakes by
the City Emergency braking function may be
interrupted by pressing the clutch, accelera-
tor or moving the wheel.
The City Emergency braking function can
●
brake the vehicle until it stops completely.
However, the brake system does not halt the
vehicle permanently. Use the foot brake!
