DRIVER SUPPORT
336The following further criteria must also be fulfil- led:
• your car must be travelling at no less than4 km/h (3 mph)
• your car must turn to the left in markets withright-hand traffic (or to the right in left-handtraffic)
• the oncoming vehicle must have its head-lamps switched on.
WARNING
City Safety is an aid and does not work in all driving situations, traffic, weather and roadconditions. Warnings and brake interventions due to a collision risk with an oncoming vehicle oftencome very late. The driver is always responsible for maintain- ing the correct distance and speed - neverwait for a collision warning or for City Safetyto intervene.
Limitations in cross trafficIn some cases City Safety may have difficulty helping the driver deal with collision risks due tooncoming cross traffic. Examples are:
• stability control ESC intervenes in the eventof slippery driving conditions
• if the oncoming vehicle is detected too late •
if the oncoming vehicle is obscured by some-thing
• if the oncoming vehicle has headlampsswitched off
• if the oncoming vehicle drives in an unpre-dictable manner, for example, abruptlychanges lanes at a late stage.

City Safety (p. 330)
City Safety when evasive manoeuvres are prevented City Safety has the facility to assist the driver by automatically braking the car earlier when it isnot possible to avoid a collision by only steeringaway.
City Safety assists the driver by continuously attempting to anticipate whether there are"escape routes" to the side in case a slow or sta-tionary vehicle ahead is discovered at a latestage.
Your car (1) "sees" no options for evading the vehicle ahead (2) and can therefore auto-brake earlier.

Slow/stationary vehicle
City Safety does not intervene with the auto- brake function as long as the driver him/herself

DRIVER SUPPORT
338
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds - below 4 km/h (3 mph) - and the system there-fore does not intervene in situations where yourcar is approaching a vehicle ahead very slowly,e.g. when parking.
Active driver
Driver commands are always prioritised, which is why City Safety does not intervene or postponewarning/intervention in situations where thedriver is steering and accelerating in a decisivemanner, even if a collision is unavoidable. Active and aware driving behaviour can therefore delay a collision warning and intervention in orderto minimise unnecessary warnings.
Miscellaneous
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions could be implemented late or not at all if a traffic situa-tion or external influences mean that the cam-era and radar unit cannot detect pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or vehicles correctly. For vehicles to be detected at night, their headlamps and rear lamp cluster must beswitched on and shining clearly. The camera and radar unit has a limited range for pedestrians and cyclists. The system canprovide effective warnings and brake interven-tions as long as the relative speed is below50 km/h (30 mph). For stationary or slow-moving vehicles, warnings and brake interven-tions are effective at vehicle speeds up to70 km/h (43 mph). Speed reduction for largeanimals is less than 15 km/h (9 mph) andcan be achieved at vehicle speeds above70 km/h (43 mph). The warning and brakeintervention for large animals is less effectiveat lower speeds. Warnings for stationary or slow-moving vehi- cles and large animals could be disengageddue to darkness or poor visibility. Warnings and brake interventions for pedes- trians and cyclists are deactivated at vehiclespeeds exceeding 70 km/h (43 mph). Do not place, stick or mount anything on the outside or inside of the windscreen in front ofor around the camera and radar unit — thiscan interfere with camera-dependent func-tions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area of the camera sensor may reduce its function, fullydeactivate it or give incorrect functionresponse.
NOTE
The function uses the car's camera unit, which has some general limitations, see the"Limitations for camera unit" section.
NOTE
The function uses the car's radar unit, which has some general limitations, see the "Limita-tions for radar unit" section.

Ignition positions The car's electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the differ-ent functions available.
In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, thecar's electrical system can be set in 3 different levels - 0, I and II. These levels are described
with the denomination "ignition position" throughout the owner's manual. The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:
Level Functions
0 •Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• The power windows can be used.
• The centre display is started andcan be used.
• It is possible to start the audio.
The functions are time-controlled inthis ignition position and are switchedoff automatically after a period of time.
I •Panorama roof, power windows,12V socket in the passenger com-partment, navigation, phone, venti-lation fan and windscreen wiperscan be used.
• Power seats can be adjusted.
• 12 V sockets in the cargo areacan be used.
• The audio is started automaticallyif it was running when the car wasleft.
Power is taken from the battery inthis ignition position.Level Functions
II •The headlamps come on.
• Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
• Several other systems are acti-vated. However, heating in seatcushions and the rear window canonly be activated after the car hasbeen started.
This ignition position consumes alot of current from the battery andshould therefore be avoided!
Selecting ignition position
Start knob in the tunnel console.
• Ignition position 0
- Unlock the car and
store the remote control key inside the car.

Overloading the starter battery
The electrical functions in the car load the starter battery to varying degrees. Avoid using the igni-tion position II when the car is switched off.
Instead, use ignition position I - which uses less
power.
Also, be aware of different accessories that load the electrical system. Do not use functions whichuse a lot of power when the car is switched off.Examples of such functions are:
• ventilation fan
• headlamps
• windscreen wiper
• audio system (high volume).
If the starter battery voltage is low, the message
12 V Battery Low charge, will soon enter
power save mode is shown in the driver display.
The energy-saving function then shuts down cer- tain functions or reduces certain functions suchas the ventilation fan and/or audio system.
–In which case, charge the starter battery by starting the car and then running it for atleast 15 minutes - starter battery charging ismore effective during driving than runningthe engine at idling speed while stationary.

Preparations for a long trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of long journey, it is important to check the car'sfunctions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that:
• the engine is working normally and that fuel consumption is normal
• there are no leaks (fuel, oil or other fluid)
• all bulbs are working
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth andpressure
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest arelocated in the car - legally required in certaincountries
• the wiper blades are in good condition.
