WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee
100% correct function in all situations.
You should therefore never test use of
City Safety in the direction of people,
animals or vehicles – this could lead to
severe damage, serious personal injury
or even death.
City Safety warns the driver if there is a
risk of collision, but the function cannot
reduce the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been
set to
Early
, warnings may be per-
ceived as late in certain situations –
e.g. when there are large speed differ-
ences or if the vehicle ahead suddenly
brakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to
warnings come further in advance. This
may cause the warnings to come more
frequently than with warning distance
Normal
, but is recommended since it
can make City Safety more effective.

This function is not available on all markets.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for
Rear Collision Warning* is deactivated if
the collision warning distance in the City
Safety function is set to the lowest level
"
Late
".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func-
tions remain active.

DRIVER SUPPORT
Detecting obstacles with City
Safety
58
City Safety
can help the driver detect other
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes-
trians.
Vehicles
City Safety can detect most vehicles that are
stationary or are moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. In some cases, it can also
detect oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic.
For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in
the dark, its headlights and taillights must be
on and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety would interpret to be a
cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
* Option/accessory.
