verified. They will switch off after a few sec-
onds.
WARNING
If the warning lamps are ignored, the vehicle
may stall in traffic, or may cause accidents
and severe injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps.
CAUTION
Failure to heed the warning lamps when they
appear may result in faults in the vehicle.
Cruise control operation

The cruise control system (CCS) is able to in-
dividually maintain the set speed when driv-
ing forwards from approx. 20 km/h (15 mph).
The CCS only slows down by reducing the ac-

Travelling down hills with the CCS
When travelling down hills the CCS cannot
maintain a constant speed. Slow the vehicle
down using the brake pedal and reduce
gears if required.

Automatic off
The cruise control system (CCS) is switched
off automatically or temporarily:
If the system detects a fault that could af-

If you increase the stored speed by press-

If the gear is changed with the manual
gearbox.

If the airbag is triggered.
Safety Assist* (City Safety As-
sist function)
Introduction
The City Safety Assist function covers driving
situations at a distance of about 10 metres in
front of the vehicle, in a speed range of ap-
in Operat-
proximately 5-30 km/h (3-19 mph).
When the system detects a possible collision
with a vehicle in front, the vehicle prepares
for a possible emergency braking
If the driver does not react to an imminent
collision, the system can automatically brake
the vehicle in order to reduce speed faced
with a possible collision. The system can
help to reduce the consequences of an acci-
dent.
If the City Safety Assist function determines
that the driver has braked insufficiently when
faced with an imminent collision, the system
can increase the brake force in order to re-
duce speed. The system can help to reduce
the consequences of an accident.
WARNING
The smart technology in the City Safety As-
sist system cannot change the limits imposed
by the laws of physics and by the system it-
self. The increased convenience offered by
the City Safety Assist system should never
prompt you to take risks. The driver always
assumes the responsibility of braking in
time.
●
The City Safety Assist function cannot pre-
vent accidents or serious injury by itself.
●
The City Safety Assist system may carry out
unwanted brake interventions in complex
driving situations e.g. when a vehicle crosses
at a short distance.
WARNING
Relying on the City Safety Assist system in

city driving as part of one's driving behaviour
may cause accidents and serious injury. The
system is not a replacement for driver aware-
ness.
