NOTE
When City Safety brakes, the brake lights
come on.
When City Safety is activated and brakes the
vehicle, the driver display shows a text message
to the effect that the function is/has been active.
WARNING
City Safety must not be used by the driver to
change his/her driving style - the driver must
not rely on City Safety alone and allow it to do
the braking.

Setting the warning distance for City
Safety
City Safety is always activated but the driver can
select the warning distance for the function.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-
vated. It is activated automatically when the
engine/electric operation is started and
remains switched on until the engine/electric
operation is switched off.
The warning distance determines the sensitivity
of the system and regulates the distance at
which a visual, acoustic and brake pulse warning
should be deployed.
To select warning distance:
1. Select Settings My Car
the centre display's top view.
2. Under City Safety Warning
Normal Early
or to set the desired warning
distance.
If the Early setting produces too many warnings,
which could be perceived as irritating in certain
situations, the Normal or Late warning distance
can be selected.
When warnings are perceived as being too fre-
quent or disturbing, the warning distance can be
reduced, which reduces the total number of
warnings and instead leads to City Safety giving a
warning at a later stage.
The Late warning distance should therefore only
be used in exceptional cases, as in dynamic driv-
ing.
WARNING
•
No automatic system can guarantee
100 % correct function in all situations.
Therefore, never test City Safety by driv-
ing at people, animals or vehicles - this
may cause severe damage and injury and
risk lives.
•
City Safety warns the driver when there is
a risk of a collision, but it cannot shorten
the driver's reaction time.
•
Even if the warning distance has been set
to Early
IntelliSafe in
being late in certain situations, e.g. when
there are large differences in speed or if
, select Late ,
vehicles ahead suddenly brake heavily.
•
With the warning distance set at
the warnings will come more in advance.
This may mean that the warnings come
more frequently than at the warning dis-
tance
since it can make City Safety more effec-
tive.
