duce serious injuries to the eyes.
Never focus optical devices, e.g. a camera,
●

●
when the City Safety Assist system is switch-
ed off or unavailable. The laser beam is not

dirt and frost.
Use a small brush to remove snow and a
●
de-icer spray to remove ice.

A damaged windscreen in the radar sensor
area may cause the City Safety Assist func-
tion to fail to operate.
