DRIVER SUPPORT
||
City Safety can detect pedestrians even in
dark conditions if they are illuminated by the
vehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians in
all situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people
•
in clothing that hides their body con-
tour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm
(32 in.).
pedestrians if the contrast to the
•
pedestrian's background is poor.
pedestrians who are carrying large
•
objects.
Warnings and brake interventions may
occur late or not at all. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is
driven correctly and with a safety distance
suitable for the speed.

Large animals
Examples of what City Safety would interpret as a
large animal: stationary or moving slowly and with
clear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function
for detecting large animals (e.g. moose,
horses, etc.) needs the clearest possible infor-
mation about body contours. This entails
being able to detect the animal straight from
the side in combination with normal move-
ments for that animal.
If parts of the animal's body are not visible to
the function's camera, the system will not be
able to detect the animal.
City Safety can detect large animals even in
dark conditions if they are illuminated by the
vehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all large animals
in all situations and, for example, cannot
see:
partially obscured larger animals.
•
larger animals seen from the front or
•
from behind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
•
larger animals if the contrast to the ani-
•
mal's background is poor.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
•
Warnings and brake interventions may
occur late or not at all. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is
driven correctly and with a safety distance
suitable for the speed.
