City Safety™
City Safety 49 can alert the driver with light,
sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to
help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists,
large animals and vehicles that appear sud-
denly.
Location of the camera and radar sensor.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or
lower the vehicle's speed at the point of
impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the
driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large ani-
mal, cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision
when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distrac-
tion could lead to an incident.
49 This function is not available on all markets.
The function assists the driver by automati-
cally applying the brakes if there is an immi-
nent risk of a collision and the driver does not
react in time by braking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in
an attempt to stop your vehicle immediately
behind the vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which
the driver should have applied the brakes
much earlier, which means that the system
will not be able to assist the driver in all situa-
tions.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late
as possible to help avoid unnecessary inter-
vention. Automatic braking will only be applied
after or during a collision warning.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not
be aware of City Safety except when the sys-
tem intervenes when a collision is imminent.
