Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deacti- vated when the vehicle is at a standstill andthe function will go into standby mode. Thismeans that the brakes will be released and thevehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehiclestationary. This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the
P, N or R
positions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeIn certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill. This occurs if the function is keeping the vehi- cle stationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at astandstill for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine man-ually.

Drive mode for driver support The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how driver support shouldmaintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Settings are made using the
DRIVE MODE
controls. Select one of the following:

Eco - Driver support will focus on provid-
ing good fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicleahead.

Comfort - Driver support will focus on fol-
lowing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.

Dynamic* - Driver support will focus on
following the set time interval to the vehi- cle ahead more exactly, which could meanfaster acceleration and heavier braking.

City Safety™
City Safety 51
can alert the driver with light,
sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists,large animals and vehicles that appear sud-denly.
Location of the camera and radar sensor.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point ofimpact. City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large ani-mal, cyclist or vehicle is imminent. City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, whenchanges in the traffic ahead and driver distrac-tion could lead to an incident. The function assists the driver by automati-cally applying the brakes if there is an immi-nent risk of a collision and the driver does notreact in time by braking and/or steering away. City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediatelybehind the vehicle or object ahead. City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakesmuch earlier, which means that the systemwill not be able to assist the driver in all situa-tions. City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary inter-vention. Automatic braking will only be appliedafter or during a collision warning. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the sys-tem intervenes when a collision is imminent.
WARNING

The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi- nent collision. In vehicles equipped with a head-up display *,
a flashing warning symbol will be displayed on the windshield.
Collision warning symbol on the windshield.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or isnot looking straight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle and are aheadof your vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedestrians, cyclists or large animals that arecrossing the road in front of your vehicle. If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, thedriver will be alerted with light, sound and pul-sations in the brake pedal. At lower speeds,during hard braking or if the accelerator pedalis pressed, the brake pedal pulsation warningwill not be given. The intensity of the brakepedal pulsations varies according to the vehi-cle's speed.
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli- sion warning, brake support will be activated. If the system determines that the pressure the driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insuffi-cient to prevent the collision, brake supportwill increase pressure.
3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the last moment. If the driver has not taken evasive action by this stage and a collision is imminent, theautomatic braking function will be triggered.This occurs whether or not the driver is press-ing the brake pedal. Full braking force will beapplied to reduce the speed at impact orreduced braking effect will be applied if this issufficient to avoid the collision.
The seat belt tensioner may be activated whenthe automatic braking function is triggered. In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with a limited braking force before applyingfull braking force. If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehicle will be kept at a standstill until thedriver takes action. If the vehicle has slowed toavoid colliding with a slower-moving vehicleahead, your speed will be reduced to that vehi-cle's speed. Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the brake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text message will appear in the instrument panelto notify the driver that the function is/wasactivated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how the driver operates the vehicle. Thedriver must not only rely on City Safety tobrake the vehicle.

WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100% correct function in all situations.You should therefore never test use ofCity Safety in the direction of people,animals or vehicles – this could lead tosevere damage, serious personal injuryor even death.
City Safety warns the driver if there is arisk of collision, but the function cannotreduce the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been set to
Early, warnings may be per-
ceived as late in certain situations – e.g. when there are large speed differ-ences or if the vehicle ahead suddenlybrakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to
Early,
warnings come further in advance. This may cause the warnings to come morefrequently than with warning distance
Normal, but is recommended since it
can make City Safety more effective.
NOTE
The warning with direction indicators for Rear Collision Warning * is deactivated if
the collision warning distance in the City Safety function is set to the lowest level "
Late".
The seat belt tensioning and braking func- tions remain active.

Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety 54
can help the driver detect other
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes- trians.
VehiclesCity Safety can detect most vehicles that are stationary or are moving in the same directionas your vehicle. In some cases, it can alsodetect oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic. For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, its headlights and taillights must beon and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety would interpret to be a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.

Automatic braking during delayed evasive maneuvers with CitySafety
City Safety 56
can assist the driver by auto-
matically braking the vehicle when it is not possible to avoid a collision by steering alone.
City Safety assists the driver by periodically attempting to predict possible "escaperoutes" to the sides of the vehicle in the eventa slow-moving or stationary vehicle were to bedetected at a late stage.
Your vehicle (1) cannot detect any potential escape routes for veering away from the vehicle ahead (2)and may therefore apply the brakes at an earlierstage.
Own vehicle
Slow-moving/stationary vehicles City Safety will not intervene to automatically apply the brakes if it is possible for the driverto avoid a collision by steering the vehicle. However, if City Safety determines that an evasive maneuver would not be possible dueto traffic in the adjacent lane(s), the functioncan assist the driver by automatically startingto apply the brakes at an earlier stage.

Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will there-fore not intervene in situations in which yourvehicle is approaching another vehicle veryslowly, such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City Safety will therefore not react or will react at alater stage with a warning or intervention insituations in which the driver is clearly steeringand operating the accelerator pedal, even if acollision is unavoidable. An active and aware driving style may there- fore delay collision warnings and interventionin order to minimize unnecessary warnings.
Other limitations
WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all. Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions can be triggered late or not at all if the traf-fic situation or external influences pre-vent the camera and radar unit fromproperly detecting pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or vehiclesahead of the vehicle.
To be able to detect vehicles at night,its front and rear lights must work andilluminate clearly.
The camera and radar unit have a lim-ited range for pedestrians and cyclists– the system can provide effectivewarnings and brake interventions if therelative speed is lower than 50 km/h(30 mph). For stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles, warnings and brake inter-ventions are effective at vehicle speedsof up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speedreduction for large animals is less than15 km/h (9 mph) and can be achievedat vehicle speeds over 70 km/h(43 mph). At lower speeds, the warn-ing and brake intervention for large ani-mals is less effective.
Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles and large animals can bedisengaged due to darkness or poorvisibility.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
Do not place, affix or mount anythingon the inside or outside of the wind-shield, or in front of or around the cam-era and radar unit – this could disruptcamera-based functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area ofthe camera sensor can reduce thefunction, disengage it completely orgive an improper function response.

WARNING
The City Safety auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce colli-sion speed, but to ensure full brakeperformance the driver should alwaysdepress the brake pedal – even whenthe car auto-brakes.
The warning and steering assistanceare only activated if there is a high riskof collision – you must therefore neverwait for the collision warning or CitySafety to intervene.
Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
City Safety does not activate auto-braking intervention during heavyacceleration.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Rear Collision Warning *59
The Rear Collision Warning 60
(RCW) function
can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
The function can alert drivers of following vehi- cles of the risk of a collision by rapidly flashingthe turn signals. If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the function detects that the vehicle is in dangerof being hit from behind, the seat belt tension-ers may tension the front seat belts. TheWhiplash Protection System will also be acti-vated in a collision. Immediately before a collision from behind, the function may also activate the brakes inorder to reduce the forward acceleration of thevehicle during the collision. However, thebrakes will only be applied if your vehicle isstationary. The brakes will be immediatelyreleased if the accelerator pedal is depressed. The function is automatically activated each time the engine is started.

Steering assistance with braking
Intervention with steering assistance and braking.
Braking intervention assists in situations where steering assistance alone is not suffi-cient. Braking force is automatically adaptedaccording to the situation at the moment thevehicle begins to run off the road. The function is active at speeds between 65-140 km/h (40-87 mph) on roads withclearly visible traffic lane markings/lines. The system uses a camera to monitor the edges of the road and the painted side markerlines. If the vehicle is about to cross the edgeof the road, the function will attempt to steerthe vehicle back onto the road. If this is notsufficient to keep the vehicle on the road, thebrakes will also be applied. However, the function will not provide either
steering assistance or braking if the turn signal is used. The function will also not be activated if it detects that the driver is actively operatingthe vehicle.
