City Safety™

City Safety¹ can alert the driver with light, sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and vehicles.

Description de la fonction

Audible signal at risk of collision

Collision warning symbol

Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring

Cette fonction peut aider le conducteur à éviter une collision dans la circulation en accordéon (stop-and-go), lorsque les changements de circulation devant le véhicule et une distraction du conducteur pourraient provoquer un incident. City Safety active un freinage bref et puissant afin d'arrêter le véhicule immédiatement derrière le véhicule ou l'objet qui précède.

The function assists the driver by automatically applying the brakes if there is an imminent risk of a collision and the driver does not react in time by braking and/or steering away.

City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakes much earlier, which means that the system will not be able to assist the driver in all situations. The function is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary intervention. Automatic braking will only be applied after or during a collision warning.

Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the system intervenes when a collision is imminent.

• The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
• The driver is advised to read all sections in the Owner's Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
• Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle 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.
