City Safety™
City Safety 13 can use lights, sound and a
brake pulse warning to alert the driver to
pedestrians, cyclists, larger animals and vehi-
cles.
Function overview
Acoustic signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Warning signal in the event of a risk of col-
lision
Distance measurement with the camera
and radar unit
The function can help the driver avoid a colli-
sion when, for example, driving in heavy traf-
fic, where changes in the traffic ahead coupled
with inattentiveness can lead to an incident.
City Safety then activates brief, heavy braking
DRIVER SUPPORT
and the car normally stops just behind the
vehicle in front.
The function helps the driver by automatically
braking the car in the event of an imminent
risk of collision if the driver does not react in
time by braking and/or swerving.
City Safety is activated in situations where the
driver should have started braking earlier,
which is why it cannot help the driver in every
situation. The function is designed to be acti-
vated as late as possible in order to avoid
unnecessary intervention. Automatic braking
takes place only after or at the same time as
the collision warning.
The driver or passengers are not normally
aware of City Safety - it only intervenes in a
situation where a collision is immediately
imminent.
