WARNING
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all
driving situations, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
Warning only activated in the event of a high
risk for collision. This section and the section
"Limitations for City Safety" inform about limi-
tations that the driver should be aware of
before using City Safety.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedes-
trians and cyclists are deactivated at vehicle
speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph).
City Safety's auto-brake function can prevent
a collision or reduce collision speed. To
ensure full brake performance, the driver
should always depress the brake pedal - even
if the car auto-brakes.
City Safety does not activates any auto-brake
functions in the event of heavy acceleration.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing the correct distance and speed - never
wait for a collision warning or for City Safety
to intervene.
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.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

City Safety carries out three steps in the follow-
ing order:
1. Collision warning
2. Brake support
3. Auto Brake
Collision warning
My
The driver is first warned of a potentially immi-
nent collision.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary or moving in the same
direction as the car and are ahead. City Safety
can also detect pedestrians, cyclists or large ani-
mals that are crossing the road in front of the car.
In the event of a risk of collision with a pedes-
trian, large animal, cyclist or vehicle (including
vehicles described in the "City Safety in cross
traffic" section), the driver's attention is alerted by
means of a red flashing warning signal, an acous-
tic signal and a haptic warning in the form of a
brake pulse. At lower speeds or with hard braking
or acceleration there will be no haptic warning.
The brake pulse frequency varies according to
the car's speed.
Brake support
If the risk of collision has increased further after
the collision warning then the brake support is
activated.
Brake support reinforces the driver's braking
action if the system considers that the braking is
not sufficient to avoid a collision.
