Manual operation
NOTE
Keep the windscreen surface in front of the camera sensor free from ice, snow, mist anddirt. Do not stick or attach anything to the wind- screen in front of the camera sensor as thismay reduce effectiveness or cause one ormore of the systems dependent on the cam-era to stop working.
If this symbol is shown in the driver dis- play, together with the message Active
High Beam Temporarily
unavailable, then switching between
main and dipped beam must be performed man- ually. The rotating ring on the stalk switch can still be in the
position. The symbol extin-
guishes when these message are shown.
The same applies if this symbol is shown together with the message
Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual.
Active main beam may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy rain.When active main beam becomes available again,or the windscreen sensors are no longer blocked, the message goes out and the
symbol illu-
minates.
WARNING
Active main beam is an aid for using the opti- mum beam pattern when conditions arefavourable. The driver always bears responsibility for man- ually switching between main and dippedbeam when traffic situations or weather con-ditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching between main and dipped beam may be required:
• In heavy rain or dense fog
• In freezing rain
• In snow flurries or slush
• In moonlight
• When driving in poorly lit built-up areas
• When the traffic ahead has weak lighting
• If there are pedestrians on or beside theroad
• If there are highly reflective objects suchas signs in the vicinity of the road
• When the lighting from oncoming trafficis obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
• When there is traffic on connecting roads
• On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
• In sharp bends.

DRIVER SUPPORT
336The following further criteria must also be fulfil- led:
• your car must be travelling at no less than4 km/h (3 mph)
• your car must turn to the left in markets withright-hand traffic (or to the right in left-handtraffic)
• the oncoming vehicle must have its head-lamps switched on.
WARNING
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all driving situations, traffic, weather and roadconditions. Warnings and brake interventions due to a collision risk with an oncoming vehicle oftencome very late. The driver is always responsible for maintain- ing the correct distance and speed - neverwait for a collision warning or for City Safetyto intervene.
Limitations in cross trafficIn some cases City Safety may have difficulty helping the driver deal with collision risks due tooncoming cross traffic. Examples are:
• stability control ESC intervenes in the eventof slippery driving conditions
• if the oncoming vehicle is detected too late •
if the oncoming vehicle is obscured by some-thing
• if the oncoming vehicle has headlampsswitched off
• if the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpre-dictable manner, for example, abruptlychanges lanes at a late stage.

City Safety (p. 330)
City Safety when evasive manoeuvres are prevented City Safety has the facility to assist the driver by automatically braking the car earlier when it isnot possible to avoid a collision by only steeringaway.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously attempting to anticipate whether there are"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or sta-tionary vehicle ahead is discovered at a latestage.
Your car (1) "sees" no options for evading the vehicle ahead (2) and can therefore auto-brake earlier.

Slow/stationary vehicle
City Safety does not intervene with the auto- brake function as long as the driver him/herself
