Collision risk warning from driver support
The driver support systems Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist * can help alert the
driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead suddenly decreases to an unsafe distance.
Collision warning audible signal and symbol.
Acoustic collision warning signal
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist use approx. 40% of the braking capacity. If a sit-uation requires more braking force than driversupport can provide, and if the driver does not apply the brakes, a warning light and audible warning signal will be activated to alert thedriver that immediate action is required.

WARNING
When driver support follows another vehi- cle at speeds over approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph) and changes target vehicle –from a moving vehicle to a stationary one –driver support will ignore the stationary
vehicle and instead accelerate to the storedspeed. The driver must then intervene and apply the brakes.
Automatic standby mode when switching targets
Driver support disengages and goes into standby mode if:
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and driver support cannot deter-mine if the target vehicle is stationary or ifit is another object, e.g. a speed bump.
your vehicle's speed goes under 5 km/h(3 mph) and the vehicle ahead turns sothat driver support no longer has a vehicleto follow.

Automatic transmission
The driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill upto 200 km/h (125 mph). Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h(87 mph). The lowest speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following another vehicle,ACC can monitor that vehicle's speed andslow your own vehicle down to a standstill,but it is not possible to set speeds lower than30 km/h (20 mph).

Setting time interval to the vehicle ahead The time interval to the vehicle ahead can be set for the functions Adaptive Cruise Control *,
Pilot Assist * and Distance Alert *.
Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The more bars, thelonger the time interval. Onebar represents an interval of
approx. 1 second to the vehicle ahead. 5 barsrepresents approx. 3 seconds.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows a vehicle and a steering wheel, PilotAssist follows a vehicle ahead at a presettime interval. When only a steering wheel is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasona-ble distance.
NOTE
When the symbol in the instrument panel shows two vehicles, ACC is following thevehicle ahead at a preset time interval. When only one vehicle is shown, there is no vehicle ahead within a reasonable dis-tance.
Controls for setting a time interval.

292 In order to help your vehicle follow the vehicle ahead as smoothly and comfortably as possi-ble, Adaptive Cruise Control allows the timeinterval to vary noticeably in certain situations.At low speeds, when the distance to the vehi-cle ahead is short, Adaptive Cruise Controlincreases the time interval slightly.
NOTE
The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the distance between them fora set time interval.
Only use the time intervals permittedby local traffic regulations.
If driver support does not seem torespond with a speed increase whenactivated, it may be because the timeinterval to the vehicle ahead is shorterthan the set time interval.
WARNING
Only use a time interval suitable for the current traffic conditions.
The driver should be aware that shorttime intervals give them limited time toreact and act to any unforeseen trafficsituation.

Auto-hold braking with driver support
The driver support functions Adaptive Cruise Control * and Pilot Assist * have a special brake
function in slow traffic and while stationary.
Braking function in slow traffic and at a standstill
In slow-moving, stop-and-go traffic or when stopped at a traffic light, driving will resumeautomatically if the vehicle is stopped for lessthan approx. 3 seconds. If it takes more than 3seconds for the vehicle ahead to begin movingagain, the driver support function will go intostandby mode and the auto-hold brake func-tion will activate.
–The function can be reactivated by:
Pressing the
button on the steer-
ing wheel keypad.
Pressing the accelerator pedal.
> The function will resume following the vehicle ahead if it begins to move within approx. 6 seconds.
WARNING
A noticeable increase in speed may follow when the speed is resumed with the
steering wheel button.

City Safety™
City Safety 54
can alert the driver with light,
sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists,large animals and vehicles that appear sud-denly.
Location of the camera and radar sensor.
City Safety can help prevent a collision or lower the vehicle's speed at the point ofimpact. City Safety is an aid intended to assist the driver if a collision with a pedestrian, large ani-mal, cyclist or vehicle is imminent. City Safety can help the driver avoid a collision when e.g. driving in stop-and-go traffic, whenchanges in the traffic ahead and driver distrac-tion could lead to an incident. The function assists the driver by automati-cally applying the brakes if there is an immi-nent risk of a collision and the driver does notreact in time by braking and/or steering away. City Safety activates a brief, forceful braking in an attempt to stop your vehicle immediatelybehind the vehicle or object ahead. City Safety is activated in situations in which the driver should have applied the brakesmuch earlier, which means that the systemwill not be able to assist the driver in all situa-tions. City Safety is designed to be activated as late as possible to help avoid unnecessary inter-vention. Automatic braking will only be appliedafter or during a collision warning. Normally, the occupants of the vehicle will not be aware of City Safety except when the sys-tem intervenes when a collision is imminent.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

can help the driver avoid a colli-
sion with a vehicle, cyclist or large animal ahead by reducing the vehicle's speed usingits automatic braking function.
If the difference in speed is greater than the speeds specified below, the City Safety auto-brake function cannot prevent a collision, butit can help mitigate its effects.
Vehicles
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a vehicle ahead by reducing your vehicle's speedby up to 60 km/h (37 mph).
Cyclists
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a cyclist ahead by reducing your vehicle's speedby up to 50 km/h (30 mph).
Pedestrians
City Safety can help prevent a collision with a pedestrian 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 ani- mal, City Safety can help reduce your vehicle'sspeed by up to 15 km/h (9 mph). The braking function for large animals is pri- marily intended to mitigate the force of a colli-sion at higher speeds. Braking is most effec- tive at speeds above 70 km/h (43 mph) andless effective at lower speeds.
