DRIVER SUPPORT
||
WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warn-
ing for obstacles detected by its radar sensor
– thus, a warning may come after a delay or
not at all.
•
Never wait for a warning or assistance.
Apply the brakes when necessary.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver sup-
port intended to facilitate driving and help
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sections
in the Owner's Manual about this function
to learn of its limitations, which the driver
must be aware of before using the func-
tion.
•
Driver support functions are not a substi-
tute for the driver's attention and judg-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe
manner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.

Limitations of City Safety in
crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for City
Safety to help the driver avoid a collision with
crossing traffic.
For example:
•
on slippery roads when Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) is actively operating
•
if an approaching vehicle is detected at a late
stage
•
if the oncoming vehicle is partially obstructed
by another vehicle or object
•
if the oncoming vehicle's headlights are off
•
if the oncoming vehicle is moving erratically
and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at a late
stage.
