CITY SAFETY™ AND COllISION WARNING
WITH Full AuTO-BRAKE AND PEDESTRIAN
DETECTION*
These features help the driver avoid a collision in sit-
uations where changes in the traffic ahead combined
with driver distraction could result in an accident or
other traffic-related incident.
City Safety™ functions at speeds up to 18 mph (30
km/h) and assists the driver by monitoring the vehicle
ahead using a laser sensor mounted in the upper
section of the windshield.
City Safety™ can help prevent a collision if the
dif-ference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph (15 km/h).
If the difference in speed is greater, a collision can
-
not be avoided but the speed at which the collision
occurs can be reduced.
City Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as pos
-
sible to help avoid unnecessary activation.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for operating the
vehicle correctly and for keeping a safe distance
to the vehicle ahead.
City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the driver. It
can never replace his/her attention to traffic con
-
ditions or responsibility for operating the vehicle
in a safe manner.
Pedestrian detection does not provide warnings
and braking action at speeds above 50 mph (80
km/h). It does not function in darkness and in
tunnels and cannot detect pedestrians who are
partially hidden, who are less than 32 in. (80 cm)
tall or who are wearing clothing that obscures the
contours of their bodies.
OTHER DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEMS*
The vehicle may be equipped with a number of
other optional systems that help the driver e.g.,
brake in time, keep a safe distance to the vehicle
ahead, detect another vehicle moving in the same
direction as your vehicle in the side-view mirror’s
“blind area” or stay in a traffic lane. These include:
Adaptive Cruise Control*
Distance Alert*
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)*
Driver Alert System*
