City Safety – operation

City Safety™1 is a support system designed to help the driver avoid low speed collisions when driving in slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic.

Using City Safety™

 Note

The City Safety™ function is activated automatically each time the engine has been switched off and restarted.

On and Off

In certain situations, it may be desirable to switch City Safety™ off, such as when driving in close quarters where leaves, branches, etc. may obscure the hood and windshield.

When the engine is running, City Safety™ can be switched off as follows:

Press My Car in the center console control panel and go to SettingsCar settingsDriver support systemsCity Safety. Select Off.

If the engine is switched off, City Safety™ will reactivate when the engine is restarted.

 Warning

The laser sensor emits light when the ignition is in mode II or higher, even if City Safety™ has been switched off.

To switch City Safety™ on again:

  • Follow the same procedure as for switching City Safety™ off but select On.
