Collision warning with Auto-brake*04
}}
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 163
WARNING\b
The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its
“vision is impaired” by adverse weather
conditions such as heavy snowfall,
dense fog, etc. These conditions may
reduce the function of systems that
depend on the camera or cause these
systems to temporarily stop function-
ing.
\b Never place any objects, decals, etc.,
on the windshield in front of the camera.
This could reduce or block the camera’s
function, and could cause one or more
of the systems that utilize the camera to
stop functioning.
\b Strong sunlight, reflections from the
road surface, ice or snow covering the
road, a dirty road surface, or unclear
lane marker lines may drastically reduce
the camera’s capacity to detect the side
of a lane or another vehicle.Fault tracing and actions
If the message Windshield sensors
blocked is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect vehicle or
road marker lines in front of the vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and
Driver Alert Control will not have full function-
ality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions. Cause Action
The surface of the windshield in front of the camera is dirty or covered\
with ice or snow. Clean or clear the section of the windshield in front of the camera.
Fog, heavy rain or snow is interfering with the function of the camera. No action possible. Heavy precipitation may affect the function of the
camera.

Use the thumb wheel to scroll until City
Safety is displayed.
2. Press the RESET button for approximately
1 second until Off is displayed.
WARNINGThe laser sensor emits light when the igni-
tion is in mode II or higher, even if City
Safety™ has been switched off.
To switch City Safety™ on again:
\b
Follow the same procedure as for switch-
ing City Safety™ off but select On by
pressing RESET.
or
\b Vehicles not equipped with keyless
drive: Press lightly on the remote key to
release it partially from the ignition slot.
Press the remote key into the ignition slot
again. Depress the brake pedal and press
the START/STOP ENGINE button to start
the engine. This restarts City Safety™
.
\b Vehicles equipped with the optional
keyless drive: Press the START/STOP
ENGINE button to switch off the engine.
Depress the brake pedal and press the
START/STOP ENGINE button to start the
engine. This restarts City Safety™.
See page 79 for information on ignition modes. City Safety™ will be automatically switched on
the next time the engine is started, even if it was
off when the engine was switched off.
Limitations
The sensor used by City Safety™ is designed
to detect cars and other larger motor vehicles
ahead of your vehicle in both daylight and dark-
ness.
However, there are certain limitations and the
laser sensor’s function may be reduced by, for
example, heavy rain or snowfall, or by dense
fog or thick, blowing dust or snow. Condensa-
tion, dirt, ice or snow on the windshield may
also interfere with the sensor’s function.
Objects such as warning flags hanging from
long objects on the roof or accessories such as
auxiliary lights or protective arches on the front
of the vehicle that are higher than the hood may
also impede the sensor’s function.
Braking distance to the vehicle ahead increa-
ses on slippery road surfaces, which may
reduce City Safety’s capacity to avoid a colli-
sion. In situations like this, the DSTC system
(see page 155) will help provide the best pos-
sible braking capacity and stability.
City Safety™ emits infrared light and measures
the way in which the light is reflected. There-
fore, vehicles or objects with low-reflective sur-faces may not be detected. Normally, the
license plate and taillight reflectors give the
rear section of a vehicle ahead sufficient reflec-
tive surfaces to be detected.
NOTE
\b
Keep the windshield in front of the laser
sensor free of ice, snow, dirt, etc. See
the illustration on page
167
\b Snow or ice on the hood deeper than
2 inches (5 cm) may obstruct the sen-
sor. Keep the hood free of ice and snow.
\b Do not mount or in any way attach any-
thing on the windshield that could
obstruct the laser sensor. Troubleshooting
If Windshield sensors blocked appears in
the information display, this indicates that the
City Safety™ laser sensor is obstructed in
some way and cannot detect vehicles ahead of
you, which means that the system is not func-
tioning.
However, this message will not be displayed in
all situations in which the sensor is obstructed.
For this reason, the driver must ensure that the
area of the windshield in front of the sensor is
always kept clean.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
When does BLIS function
The system functions when your vehicle is
moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
When you pass another vehicle:The system reacts when you pass another
vehicle at a speed of up to 6 mph (10 km/h)
faster than that vehicle.
When you are passed by another vehicle:The system reacts if your vehicle is passed by
another vehicle at a speed of up to 43 mph
(70 km/h) faster than your vehicle.
WARNING
\b
BLIS does not function in sharp curves.
\b BLIS does not function when your vehi-
cle is backing up.
\b If you are towing a wide trailer, this may
prevent the BLIS cameras from detect-
ing other vehicles in adjacent lanes.
How BLIS functions in daylight and
darkness
Daylight
BLIS reacts to the shape of surrounding vehi-
cles. The system is designed to help detect
motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses,
motorcycles, etc.
DarknessBLIS reacts to the headlights of surrounding
vehicles. In order to be detected by BLIS, a
vehicle in the blind area must have its head-
lights on. This means, for example, that the
system will not detect a trailer without head-
lights that is being towed behind a car or truck.WARNING \b
BLIS does not react to cyclists or
mopeds.
\b BLIS does not react to vehicles that are
standing still.
\b The function of the BLIS cameras may
be affected by intense light, or when
driving at night in areas where there are
no external sources of light (e.g., street
lights, other vehicles, etc.). In such
cases, the system may react as if the
cameras were obscured.
\b In both of the above mentioned condi-
tions, a message will appear in the infor-
mation display.
\b When driving in such conditions, the
system\fs function will be limited or it
may be temporarily switched off, see
page 195 for instructions.
\b When the message is no longer dis-
played, BLIS will return to normal func-
tion.
\b The BLIS cameras have the same limi-
tation as the human eye. In other words,
their "vision is impaired" by adverse
weather conditions such as heavy
snowfall, dense fog, etc.
