DRIVER SUPPORT
Detection of obstacles with City
Safety
16
City Safety can help the driver to detect
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes-
trians.
Vehicles
City Safety detect most vehicles that are sta-
tionary or moving in the same direction as the
driver's own car. This function can also detect
oncoming vehicles and cross traffic in certain
cases.
In order that City Safety shall be able to detect
a vehicle in the dark, the vehicle's front and
rear lights must be working and clearly illumi-
nated.
16 The function is not available in all markets.

Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety interprets as a cyclist
— with clear body outline and bicycle outline.
Good performance requires that the system
function that detects a cyclist must receive the
clearest possible information about the body
and bicycle outline, requiring the ability to
identify the bicycle, head, arms, shoulders,
legs, upper and lower body plus a normal
human pattern of movement.
If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle
are not visible to the function's camera then
the system cannot detect a cyclist.
For the function to be able to detect a cyclist,
he/she must be an adult and riding a bicycle
designed for adults.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup-
port, but it cannot detect all cyclists in all
situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured cyclists.
•
cyclists if the background contrast for
•
the cyclists is poor.
cyclists wearing clothing that obscures
•
the body outline.
bicycles loaded with large objects.
•
Warnings and brake interventions could be
late or not occur at all. The driver is always
responsible that the vehicle is driven cor-
rectly and with a safety distance adapted
to the speed.
