No automatic system can guarantee

Therefore, never test City Safety by
driving at people, animals or vehicles -
this may cause severe damage and
injury and risk lives.
City Safety warns the driver when

there is a risk of a collision, but it can-
not shorten the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been

set to Early warnings could be per-

advance. This may mean that the warn-
ings come more frequently than at the
warning distance Normal , but it is rec-
ommended since it can make City
Safety more effective.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for
Rear Collision Warning* is deactivated if
the warning distance for collision warning
in the City Safety function is set at the low-
est level " Late ".
The seat belt pre-tensioning and braking
functions are, however, still active.
