If the speed difference is 4-15 km/h in relation
to the vehicle in front then City Safety™ can
completely prevent a collision.
City Safety™ activates a short, sharp braking
and stops the car in normal circumstances,
just behind the vehicle in front. For most dri-
vers this is well outside normal driving style
and may be experienced as being uncomfort-
able.
If the difference in speed between the vehi-
cles is greater than 15 km/h then City
Safety™ may not prevent the collision on its
07
own. To obtain full brake force, the driver
must depress the brake pedal. This could
then make it possible to prevent a collision,
even at speed differences above 15 km/h.
NOTE: The illustration is schematic - details may vary depending on car model.

is/has been active.

lights come on.

City Safety™ - operation
City Safety™ is a function for helping the
driver to avoid a collision when driving in
queues, amongst other things, when changes
in the traffic ahead, combined with a lapse in
attention, could lead to an incident.

The City Safety™ function is activated
automatically when the engine is started.
In certain situations, it may advisable to disa-
