The City Safety™ function is active at speeds under 50 km/h and it helps the driver by automatically braking the car in the event of imminent risk of collision with vehicles in front, should the driver not react in time by braking and/or steering away.
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 intervention.
City Safety™ must not be used as an excuse for the driver to change his/her driving style. If the driver solely relies on City Safety™ to do the braking, there might be a risk of a collision sooner or later.
The driver or passengers normally only notice City Safety™ if a situation arises where the car is extremely close to being in a collision.
If the car is also equipped with Collision Warning with Auto Brake* these two systems complement each other.
Important
Warning
City Safety™ does not engage in all driving situations or traffic, weather or road conditions.
City Safety™ does not react to vehicles driving in a different direction from the car, to small vehicles and motorcycles or to humans and animals.
City Safety™ can prevent collision at a speed difference of less than 15 km/h - at a higher speed difference, it is only possible to reduce collision speed. In order to obtain full brake function, the driver must depress the brake pedal.
Never wait for City Safety™ to engage. The driver always bears responsibility for maintaining the proper distance and speed.
