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
322
function also helps stabilize the vehicle after it
has passed the obstacle.
City Safety steering assistance can detect:
