DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEMS

CITY SAFETY™ AND COLLISION WARNING
WITH FULL AUTO-BRAKE*

City Safety™ is a support function intended to
help the driver avoid a collision in e.g., stop-and­go traffic where changes in the surrounding traffic
coupled with driver distraction could result in an
accident.

City Safety™ is active at speeds up to 18 mph
(30 km/h) and assists the driver by monitoring the
traffic ahead using the laser sensor mounted in
the upper section of the windshield.

City Safety™ can help prevent a collision if the
difference in speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is less than 9 mph (15 km/h). City
Safety™ is designed to intervene as late as pos

-

sible to help avoid unnecessary activation.

Display & instrument panel lighting.

Rear fog light (driver’s side only).

Automatic headlights. High beam flash
only.

Parking lights

Headlights: turn off when ignition is
switched off, high/low beams.

Open the fuel filler door.

Press once to unlock the trunk, press
twice to pop open the trunk slightly.

WARNING

The driver is always responsible for keeping a
safe distance to the vehicle ahead.

City Safety™ is a supplemental aid to the dri
ver. It can never replace the driver’s attention
to traffic conditions or his/her responsibility for
operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

City Safety™ may never be used instead of the
driver applying the brakes.

City Safety™ does not function in all driving
situations or in all traffic, weather or road
conditions.

City Safety™ and Collision Warning with Full
Auto-brake do not function in all traffic, light,
weather and road conditions and can only de
tect pedestrians with clear body contours and
who are at least 32 in. (80 cm) tall. Warnings
and braking action are switched off above 50
mph (80 km/h).

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL*

This function should not be used in e.g., stop­and-go traffic, at intersections, on slippery roads,
when there is accumulated water or slush on the
road, in heavy rain/snow, poor visibility, on win
ding roads, and when driving on on/off ramps.

See the chapter “Comfort and driving pleasure” in
your Owner’s Manual for additional information.

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)

ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT

EBA is designed to provide full brake effect im
mediately in the event of sudden, hard braking.
When EBA is activated, the brake pedal will go
down more than usual.

– Press and hold the brake pedal for as long as
necessary – there will be no braking effect if the
pedal is released.

CAR CARE

Hand washing is gentler on the paint than an
automatic car wash. Since the paint on a new
vehicle may take several months to harden
completely, we recommend washing the vehicle
by hand during this period. Use clean water, a
suitable car washing detergent and a sponge.
Keep in mind that dirt or grit on the sponge can
scratch the paint.
