ACTIVE CITY STOP
WARNING
For all warnings and cautions, refer
to your Owner's Manual.
A sensor is mounted behind the interior rear
view mirror. It continuously monitors
conditions to decide when to intervene.
The system is designed to help you reduce
low speed collisions into the rear of another
vehicle. It will also help you reduce the
impact damage or potentially avoid the
collision completely.
The system operates at speeds below
approximately 30 km/h (19 mph) by
applying the brakes when the sensor
detects that a collision is likely.
You must depress the brake pedal to obtain
full braking force.
When the system is braking or has
automatically applied the brakes, a
message will be shown in the display.

USING ACTIVE CITY STOP

Switching the system on and off
Note: The system is per default on.
Note: In certain situations, it may be
advisable to disable the system, for example
driving off road when objects may cover the
windscreen.
Activate and deactivate the system using
the information display.

ECONOMICAL DRIVING

Gear shifting
Using the highest drivable gear appropriate
for the road conditions will improve fuel
consumption.
Anticipation
Adjusting your vehicle speed and the
distance to other vehicles without the need
for heavy braking or acceleration will
improve fuel consumption.
Efficient speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reducing your
cruising speed on open roads will improve
fuel consumption.
