Subfunctions for City Safety
City Safety
12
can help to prevent a collision or
reduce the collision speed. The function con-
sists of several subfunctions.
Ability to reduce speed
If the speed difference between the driver's
car and the obstacle is greater than the follow-
ing specified speeds, the City Safety auto-
brake function cannot prevent a collision but it
can mitigate the consequences of a collision.
Vehicles
For a vehicle in front, City Safety can reduce
the speed by up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
For a cyclist, City Safety can reduce the speed
by up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
For a pedestrian, City Safety can reduce speed
by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
Large animals
In the event of a risk of a collision with a large
animal, City Safety can reduce the car's speed
by up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The brake function for large animals is primar-
ily intended to reduce the force of the impact
at higher speeds and is most effective at
speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) but less
effective at lower speed.
