Driver intervention
Backing up
City Safety is temporarily deactivated when the vehicle is backing up.
Low speed
City Safety is not activated at very low speeds under 4 km/h (3 mph). The system will there-fore not intervene in situations in which yourvehicle is approaching another vehicle veryslowly, such as when parking.
Active driver
Action by the driver always has priority. City Safety will therefore not react or will react at alater stage with a warning or intervention insituations in which the driver is clearly steeringand operating the accelerator pedal, even if acollision is unavoidable. An active and aware driving style may there- fore delay collision warnings and interventionin order to minimize unnecessary warnings.
Other limitations
WARNING
The driver support system only issues a warning for obstacles detected by its radarsensor – thus, a warning may come after adelay or not at all. Never wait for a warning or assistance. Apply the brakes when necessary.
WARNING
Warnings and brake interventions can be triggered late or not at all if the traf-fic situation or external influences pre-vent the camera and radar unit fromproperly detecting pedestrians,cyclists, large animals or vehiclesahead of the vehicle.
To be able to detect vehicles at night,its front and rear lights must work andilluminate clearly.
The camera and radar unit have a lim-ited range for pedestrians and cyclists– the system can provide effectivewarnings and brake interventions if therelative speed is lower than 50 km/h(30 mph). For stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles, warnings and brake inter-ventions are effective at vehicle speedsof up to 70 km/h (43 mph). Speedreduction for large animals is less than15 km/h (9 mph) and can be achievedat vehicle speeds over 70 km/h(43 mph). At lower speeds, the warn-ing and brake intervention for large ani-mals is less effective.
Warnings for stationary or slow-mov-ing vehicles and large animals can bedisengaged due to darkness or poorvisibility.
Warnings and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
Do not place, affix or mount anythingon the inside or outside of the wind-shield, or in front of or around the cam-era and radar unit – this could disruptcamera-based functions.
Objects, snow, ice or dirt in the area ofthe camera sensor can reduce thefunction, disengage it completely orgive an improper function response.

WARNING
The City Safety auto-brake function can prevent a collision or reduce colli-sion speed, but to ensure full brakeperformance the driver should alwaysdepress the brake pedal – even whenthe car auto-brakes.
The warning and steering assistanceare only activated if there is a high riskof collision – you must therefore neverwait for the collision warning or CitySafety to intervene.
Warnings and brake interventions forpedestrians and cyclists are disen-gaged at vehicle speeds over 80 km/h(50 mph).
City Safety does not activate auto-braking intervention during heavyacceleration.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
Market limitationsCity Safety is not available in all countries. If City Safety is not shown in the center display's
Settings menu, your vehicle is not equipped
with this function. In the center display's Top view, tap:

The BLIS 62
function is designed to help pro-
vide assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes moving in the same direction by helpingthe driver to detect the presence of vehiclesin the "blind spot" area behind and to the sideof the vehicle.
Location of BLIS indicator light.
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert the driver of:
vehicles in your "blind spot"
vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacentlanes.
BLIS overview
Blind spot zone
Rapidly approaching vehicle zone.
The system is designed to react to:
vehicles passing your vehicle
vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or arapidly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indi-cator light will illuminate in the relevant rear-view mirror and glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side in whichthe warning has been given, the indicator lightwill become brighter and begin flashing. BLIS is active when your vehicle is traveling at a speed over 10 km/h (6 mph).

functionality may be reduced in cer-
tain situations.
Keep the marked area clean (on both the left and right sides of the vehicle) 65
.
Examples of limitations:
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp curves.
BLIS does not work when the vehicle is being reversed.

The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations
The
auto brake sub-function only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
