NOTE
•Due to local traffic regulations in certain markets, RCW will
not activate the rear
turn signals. That part of the function will be deactivated.
• The use of the rear turn signals will alsobe deactivated if the City Safety warning level is set at
Later. See also the section
"Setting a warning level (distance)" in the article "City Safety settings."
• If RCW detects a vehicle approachingfrom behind, the seat belt pretensionersand Whiplash Protection System will beactivated.
LimitationsIn some circumstances, it may be difficult for RCW to help the driver if there is a risk of a colli-sion, such as: •
In slippery conditions when Electronic Stability Control is active
• If the vehicle approaching from the rear isdetected at a late stage
• If the vehicle approaching from the rearchanges lanes at a late stage
• If the vehicle approaching from the rear ismoving at a speed above approx. 50 mph(80 km/h) detected at a late stage

City Safety limitations
City Safety ™ may have limited or reduced func-
tionality in certain situations.
The function has several limitations that the driver should be familiar with:
Low objectsHanging objects, such as flags for overhanging loads or accessories such as auxiliary lights orfront protective grids that extend beyond theheight of the hood may limit City Safety's func-tion.
Slippery driving conditionsThe extended braking distance on slippery roads may reduce City Safety's capacity to help avoid acollision. In situations of this type, the ABSbrakes and Electronic Stability Control will helpprovide braking power and stability.
BacklightingStrong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con- trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is notlooking straight ahead may make the visual warn-ing signal in the windshield difficult to see.
