City Safety steering assistance can assist the driver to steer away from a vehicle/obstacle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by braking alone.

City Safety engages by amplifying the driver's steering input, which only occurs after the driver has begun an evasive manoeuvre - and then only if the driver is not steering enough to avoid a collision.

In parallel with the amplified steering input, the brake system is also used to further amplify the steering input. The function also helps to straighten the car again after passing the obstacle.

City Safety steering assistance can detect:
  • Vehicles
  • cyclists
  • Pedestrians
  • larger animals.

 Warning

  • The ability of City Safety to be able to predict a specific situation is supplementary driver support intended to improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the car is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Activate/deactivate

City Safety steering assistance cannot be deactivated but is always activated.
