City Safety
71
can help the driver to avoid a
collision with a vehicle, a cyclist, a pedestrian
or a larger animal in front by reducing the
car's speed with the auto-brake function.
If the speed difference is greater than the fol-
lowing specified speeds, the City Safety auto-
brake function cannot prevent a collision but
mitigates the consequences of it.
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.
