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 activates a short, sharp braking proce-
dure, normally stopping the car just behind the
vehicle in front. For most drivers this is well out-
side normal driving style and may be perceived as
uncomfortable.
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.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late as
possible in order to avoid unnecessary interven-
tion.
The driver or passengers are not normally aware
of City Safety - it only intervenes in a situation
where a collision is immediately imminent.
City Safety can prevent collisions with vehicles
ahead or bicycles by reducing the speed of the
car by up to 50 km/h. For pedestrians, City
Safety can reduce the speed by up to 45 km/h.
If the speed difference is greater than 50 km/h
or 45 km/h respectively, City Safety's automatic
braking cannot prevent a collision but it can miti-
gate the consequences of a collision.
WARNING
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all
driving situations, traffic, weather and road
conditions.
Warning only activated in the event of a high
risk for collision. This section and the section
"Limitations for City Safety" inform about limi-
tations that the driver should be aware of
before using City Safety.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedes-
trians and cyclists are deactivated at a vehicle
speed exceeding 80 km/h.
City Safety's auto-brake function can prevent
a collision or reduce collision speed. To
ensure full brake performance, the driver
should always depress the brake pedal - even
if the car auto-brakes.
City Safety does not activates any auto-brake
functions in the event of heavy acceleration.
The driver is always responsible for maintain-
ing the correct distance and speed - never
wait for a collision warning or for City Safety
to intervene.
Market limitation
City Safety is not available in all countries. If City
Safety does not appear in the centre display's
Settings menu, the car is not equipped with this
function.
