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:
