driver is always responsible for main-
taining a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead.
Function
Location of the laser sensor in the windshield
City Safety™ monitors traffic ahead of you
using a laser sensor mounted in the upper sec-
tion of the windshield. If a collision is imminent,
City Safety™ will automatically apply the
brakes, which may feel like hard braking.
•If the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead is between
approximately 2-9 mph (4-15 km/h), City
Safety™ can help prevent a collision from
taking place.
•If the difference in speed is between
approximately 10-18 mph (15-30 km/h),City Safety™ alone cannot avoid a colli-
sion. The driver must apply the brakes for
full braking effect.
When the function activates and applies the
brakes, a message will appear in the informa-
tion display to indicate that the system is/has
been active.
NOTE
•When City Safety™ applies the brakes,
the brake lights will illuminate.
•In cases where City Safety™ has stop-
ped the vehicle, the system will then
release the brakes. The driver must
apply the brakes to keep the vehicle at
a standstill.

matically each time the engine has been
