Setting the warning distance for City Safety
Note
The warning distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance at which the visual, acoustic and haptic warnings shall be triggered.
Try first with Earlier. If this setting produces too many warnings, which could be perceived as irritating in certain situations, then change to the Normal warning distance.
If warnings are perceived as being too frequent or disturbing then the warning distance can be reduced. This would lead to the system warning at a later stage, which reduces the total number of warnings.
The Later warning distance should only be used in exceptional cases, as in dynamic driving.
Note
City Safety warns the driver when there is a risk of a collision, but it cannot shorten the driver’s reaction time.
For City Safety to be effective, it is recommended always to drive with the warning distance set to Earlier.
Note
Note
Warning with the direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning deactivates if the warning distance for collision warning is set to the lowest level "Later" (see section "Set warning distance for City Safety").
The seat belt pre-tensioning and braking functions are, however, still active.
