NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle stationaryfor no more than 5 minutes – after that timethe parking brake is applied and the functionis deactivated.
The parking brake must be released beforedriver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deactivatedwhen the vehicle is at a standstill and the func-tion will go into standby mode. This means thatthe brakes will be released and the vehicle couldbegin to roll. The driver must actively apply thebrakes to keep the vehicle stationary.
This can occur if:
the driver depresses the brake pedal
the parking brake is applied
the gear selector is moved to the P, N or Rpositions
the driver puts the function in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking Brake
In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
This occurs if the function is keeping the vehiclestationary using the brakes and:
the driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt
the function has kept the vehicle at a stand-still for more than approx. 5 minutes
the brakes overheat
the driver switches off the engine manually.

Passing assistance
Passing assistance can assist the driver whenpassing other vehicles. The function can beused with Pilot Assist or Adaptive Cruise Con-
trol* (ACC40).
How passing assistance works
When Pilot Assist or ACC is following anothervehicle and you indicate that you intend to pass
that vehicle by using the turn signal41, the systemwill begin accelerating toward the vehicle aheadbefore your vehicle has moved into the passinglane.
The function will then delay a speed reduction toavoid early braking as your vehicle approaches aslower-moving vehicle.
The function remains active until your vehicle haspassed the other vehicle.
WARNING
Please note that this function can be acti-vated in more situations than just passinganother vehicle, such as when a direction indi-cator is used to indicate a lane change orbefore exiting to another road – the vehiclewill then briefly accelerate.

Using passing assistance
Several conditions must be met for passingassistance to be possible.
In order to activate passing assistance:
your vehicle must be following a vehicleahead (target vehicle)
your vehicle's current speed must beat least 70 km/h (43 mph)
the set speed must be high enough tosafely pass another vehicle.
To start passing assistance:
–Turn on the left turn signal.
>Passing assistance will start.
WARNING
The driver should be aware that if conditionssuddenly change when using Passing Assis-tance, the function may implement an unde-sired acceleration in certain conditions.
Some situations should be avoided, e.g. if:
the vehicle is approaching an exit in thesame direction as passing would normallyoccur
the vehicle ahead slows before your vehi-cle has had time to switch to the passinglane
traffic in the passing lane slows down
Situations of this type can be avoided by tempo-rarily putting Adaptive Cruise Control or PilotAssist in standby mode.

Park Assist Camera *
Blind sectors
There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields ofvision.
With Park Assist Camera's 360° view* selected,objects/obstacles may not be detected if theyare located in the "joints" where the edges of theindividual camera views meet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly smallsection of the screen image is obstructed, thismay mean that a relatively large sector is hid-den and obstacles there may not be detecteduntil they are very near the vehicle.
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark andcontains this symbol, this indi-cates that the camera is notfunctioning properly.
See the following illustration foran example.
The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
A dark camera sector may also be displayed inthe following situations, but without the defectivecamera symbol:
a door is open
the trunk lid is open
a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditions
The camera image is automatically adjustedaccording to the current lighting conditions. Thismeans that the brightness and quality of the
image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditionsmay result in reduced image quality.
Rear Park Assist Camera
WARNING
Be extra cautious whenreversing if this symbol isshown when a trailer, bikecarrier or similar is attachedand electrically connectedto the vehicle.
The symbol indicates thatthe rear parking assist sensors are deacti-vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
NOTE
A bike carrier and other accessories mountedon the rear of the vehicle can obscure thecamera's view.

City Safety™
City Safety47 can alert the driver with light,sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to helpthe driver detect pedestrians, cyclists, large ani-mals and vehicles that appear suddenly – thevehicle will then attempt to automatically brake ifthe driver does not act within a reasonableamount of time.
Location of the camera and radar sensor.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lowerthe vehicle's speed at the point of impact.
City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driverif a collision with a pedestrian, large animal,cyclist or vehicle is imminent.
City Safety can help the driver avoid a collisionwhen e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, when
changes in the traffic ahead and driver distractioncould lead to an incident.
The function assists the driver by automaticallyapplying the brakes if there is an imminent risk ofa collision and the driver does not react in time bybraking and/or steering away.
City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in anattempt to stop your vehicle immediately behindthe vehicle or object ahead.
City Safety is activated in situations in which thedriver should have applied the brakes much ear-lier, which means that the system will not be ableto assist the driver in all situations.
City Safety is designed to be activated as late aspossible to help avoid unnecessary intervention.
Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not beaware of City Safety except when the systemintervenes when a collision is imminent.
WARNING
The City Safety auto-brake function canprevent a collision or reduce collisionspeed, but to ensure full brake perform-ance the driver should always depress thebrake pedal – even when the car auto-brakes.
The warning and steering assistance areonly activated if there is a high risk of col-lision – you must therefore never wait forthe collision warning or City Safety tointervene.
Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians and cyclists are disengagedat vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
City Safety does not activate auto-brakingintervention during heavy acceleration.
47This function is not available on all markets.

WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-port intended to facilitate driving and helpmake it safer – it cannot handle all situa-tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-tions.
The driver is advised to read all sectionsin the Owner's Manual about this functionto learn of its limitations, which the drivermust be aware of before using the func-tion.
Driver support functions are not a substi-tute for the driver's attention and judg-ment. The driver is always responsible forensuring the vehicle is driven in a safemanner, at the appropriate speed, with anappropriate distance to other vehicles,and in accordance with current trafficrules and regulations.

City Safety parameters and sub-functions
City Safety can help avoid a collision with a vehi-cle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing thevehicle's speed using its automatic braking func-tion.
If the difference in speed is greater than thespeeds specified below, the City Safety auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision, but itcan help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with avehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speedby up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with acyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speed byup to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with apedestrian ahead by reducing your vehicle'sspeed by up to 45 km/h (28 mph).

Large animals
If there is a risk of colliding with a large animal,City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speedby up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
The braking function for large animals is primarilyintended to mitigate the force of a collision athigher speeds. Braking is most effective atspeeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) and less effec-tive at lower speeds.
City Safety sub-functions
Function overview.
Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
City Safety carries out three steps in the follow-ing order:
1.Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brake
Descriptions of what happens in these threesteps are provided below.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-nent collision.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display*, aflashing warning symbol will be displayed on thewindshield.
Collision warning symbol on the windshield.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be dif-ficult to notice in cases of strong sunlight,reflections, extreme light contrasts, or if thedriver is wearing sunglasses or is not lookingstraight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists orvehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle and are ahead ofyour vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedes-trians, cyclists or large animals that are crossingthe road in front of your vehicle.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, the driverwill be alerted with light, sound and pulsations inthe brake pedal. At lower speeds, during hardbraking or if the accelerator pedal is pressed, thebrake pedal pulsation warning will not be given.The intensity of the brake pedal pulsations variesaccording to the vehicle's speed.
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli-sion warning, brake support will be activated.
If the system determines that the pressure thedriver is exerting on the brake pedal is insufficientto prevent the collision, brake support willincrease pressure.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.308
3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at thelast moment.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by thisstage and a collision is imminent, the automaticbraking function will be triggered. This occurswhether or not the driver is pressing the brakepedal. Full braking force will be applied to reducethe speed at impact or reduced braking effect willbe applied if this is sufficient to avoid the colli-sion.
The seat belt tensioner may be activated whenthe automatic braking function is triggered.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin witha limited braking force before applying full brak-ing force.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehi-cle will be kept at a standstill until the drivertakes action. If the vehicle has slowed to avoidcolliding with a slower-moving vehicle ahead, yourspeed will be reduced to that vehicle's speed.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if thedriver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, thebrake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text mes-sage will appear in the instrument panel to notifythe driver that the function is/was activated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change howthe driver operates the vehicle. The drivermust not only rely on City Safety to brake thevehicle.

Setting a warning distance for CitySafety
City Safety is always active, but the function'swarning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti-vated. It is activated automatically each timethe engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity ofthe system and regulates the distance at whichthe light, sound and brake pulsations will be acti-vated.
To select warning distance:
1.Select SettingsMy CarIntelliSafe inthe center display's Top view.
2.Under City Safety Warning, tap Late,Normal or Early to set the desired warningdistance.
If the driver feels that the Early setting is givingtoo many warnings or finds them irritating, theNormal or Late warning distance settings canbe selected instead.
If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre-quent and distracting, the warning distance canbe reduced. This will reduce the total number ofwarnings, but it will also result in City Safety pro-viding warnings at a later stage.
