City Safety steering assistance for
evasive maneuver
City Safety steering assistance can help the
driver steer away from a vehicle/obstacle
when it is not possible to avoid a collision by
braking alone. City Safety steering assistance
is always activated and cannot be switched
off.

City Safety helps provide assistance by
strengthening the driver's steering move-
ments, but only if the driver has begun evasive
action and the system detects that the driver's
steering movements are not sufficient to avoid
a collision.
The brake system is used simultaneously to
further strengthen steering movements. The
function also helps stabilize the vehicle after it
has passed the obstacle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
vehicles
•
cyclists
•
pedestrians
•
large animals

DRIVER SUPPORT
Automatic braking during delayed
evasive maneuvers with City
Safety
City Safety 60 can assist the driver by auto-
matically braking the vehicle when it is not
possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically
attempting to predict possible "escape
routes" to the sides of the vehicle in the event
a slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to be
detected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape
routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2)
and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlier
stage.
