Drive modes when using time interval to vehicle
The driver can choose different drive modes to determine how driver support shouldmaintain a time interval to the vehicle ahead.
Settings are made using the DRIVE MODE
controls. Select one of the following:

Eco - Driver support will focus on provid-
ing good fuel economy, which will increase the time interval to the vehicleahead.

Comfort - Driver support will focus on fol-
lowing the set time interval to the vehicle ahead as smoothly as possible.

Dynamic* - Driver support will focus on
following the set time interval to the vehi- cle ahead more exactly, which could meanfaster acceleration and heavier braking.

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. In certain situations, the parking brake will beapplied to keep the vehicle at a standstill.
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.

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.
NOTE
Driver support can keep the vehicle sta- tionary for no more than 5 minutes – afterthat time the parking brake is applied andthe function is deactivated. The parking brake must be released before driver support can be reactivated.
Deactivation of the Auto-hold brake function
In certain situations, auto-hold will be deacti- vated when the vehicle is at a standstill andthe function will go into standby mode. This means that the brakes will be released and the vehicle could begin to roll. The driver mustactively apply the brakes to keep the vehiclestationary. 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
R position.
The driver puts Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist in standby mode.
Auto Activate Parking BrakeThe parking brake will be applied if the func-tion is keeping the vehicle stationary using thebrakes and:
The driver opens the door or unbuckleshis/her seat belt.
The function has kept the vehicle at astandstill for more than approx. 5 minutes.
The brakes overheat.
The driver switches off the engine.

Lane Keeping Aid
Lane Keeping Aid (LKA 69
) is designed to
actively steer the vehicle on freeways, high- ways and other major roads to help the driverreduce the risk of the vehicle unintentionallyveering out of the lane.
Lake Keeping Aid steers the vehicle back into the lane and/or alerts the driver using vibra-tions in the steering wheel. Lane Keeping Aid is active at speeds between 65–200 km/h (40–125 mph) on roads withclearly visible traffic lane marker lines. On narrow roads, the function may be unavail- able and go into standby mode. The functionwill become available again when the roadbecomes sufficiently wide.
A camera monitors the road/traffic lane's marker lines.

City Safety™
City Safety 75
can alert the driver with light,
sound and pulsations in the brake pedal to help the driver detect pedestrians, cyclists,large animals and vehicles.
Function overview
Audible signal at risk of collision
Collision warning symbol
Camera/radar sensor distance monitoring
The function can help the driver avoid a colli- sion in e.g. stop-and-go traffic, when changesin the traffic ahead and driver distraction couldlead to an incident. City Safety activates abrief, forceful braking in an attempt to stopyour vehicle immediately behind the vehicle orobject ahead. 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 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. The function is designed to be activatedas late as possible to help avoid unnecessaryintervention. Automatic braking will only beapplied after 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.

City Safety sub-functions
City Safety 76
can help prevent a collision or
lower the vehicle's speed at the point of impact. The function consists of several sub-functions.
Ability to reduce speedIf the difference in speed between your vehicle and the obstacle is greater than the speedsspecified below, the City Safety auto-brakefunction cannot prevent a collision, but it canhelp 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's speed 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.
City Safety stepsCity Safety carries out three steps in the fol-lowing order:
1. Collision warning
2. Brake assistance
3. Auto-brake

1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi- nent collision. In vehicles equipped with a head-up display *,
a flashing warning symbol will be displayed on the windshield.
Collision warning symbol on the windshield
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or isnot looking straight ahead.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles that are stationary, are moving in thesame direction as your vehicle and are aheadof your vehicle. City Safety can also detect pedestrians, cyclists or large animals that arecrossing the road in front of your vehicle. If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian, large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, thedriver will be alerted with light, sound and pul-sations in the brake pedal. At lower speeds,during hard braking or if the accelerator pedalis pressed, the brake pedal pulsation warningwill not be given. The intensity of the brakepedal pulsations varies according to the vehi-cle'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 the driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insuffi-cient to prevent the collision, brake supportwill increase pressure.
3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at the last moment. If the driver has not taken evasive action by this stage and a collision is imminent, theautomatic braking function will be triggered.This occurs whether or not the driver is press-ing the brake pedal. Full braking force will beapplied to reduce the speed at impact orreduced braking effect will be applied if this issufficient to avoid the collision.
The seat belt tensioner may be activated whenthe automatic braking function is triggered. In certain situations, auto-braking may begin with a limited braking force before applyingfull braking force. If City Safety has prevented a collision, the vehicle will be kept at a standstill until thedriver takes action. If the vehicle has slowed toavoid colliding with a slower-moving vehicleahead, your speed will be reduced to that vehi-cle's speed. Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the brake lights come on.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text message will appear in the instrument panelto notify the driver that the function is/wasactivated.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change how the driver operates the vehicle. Thedriver must not only rely on City Safety tobrake the vehicle.

Setting a warning distance for City Safety
City Safety 77
is always active, but the func-
tion's warning distance can be adjusted.
NOTE
The City Safety function cannot be deacti- vated. It is activated automatically eachtime the engine/electric motor is started.
The alert distance determines the sensitivity of the system and regulates the distance atwhich the light, sound and brake pulsationswill be activated. To select warning distance:
1. Select
SettingsMy CarIntelliSafein the center display's Top view.
2. Under
City Safety Warning, tap Late,Normal or Early to set the desired warn-
ing distance.
If the driver feels that the
Early setting is giv-
ing too many warnings or finds them irritating, the
Normal or Late warning distance settings
can be selected instead. If the driver feels that the warnings are too fre- quent and distracting, the warning distancecan be reduced. This will reduce the total number of warnings, but it will also result inCity Safety providing warnings at a later stage. The
Late warning distance setting should
therefore only be used in exceptional cases, such as when a more dynamic driving style ispreferred.

WARNING
No automatic system can guarantee 100% correct function in all situations.You should therefore never test use ofCity Safety in the direction of people,animals or vehicles – this could lead tosevere damage, serious personal injuryor even death.
City Safety warns the driver if there is arisk of collision, but the function cannotreduce the driver's reaction time.
Even if the warning distance has been set to
Early, warnings may be per-
ceived as late in certain situations – e.g. when there are large speed differ-ences or if the vehicle ahead suddenlybrakes heavily.
With the warning distance set to
Early,
warnings come further in advance. This may cause the warnings to come morefrequently than with warning distance
Normal, but is recommended since it
can make City Safety more effective.

Detecting obstacles with City Safety
City Safety 78
can help the driver detect other
vehicles, cyclists, large animals and pedes- trians.
VehiclesCity Safety can detect most vehicles that are stationary or are moving in the same directionas your vehicle. In some cases, it can alsodetect oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic. For City Safety to be able to detect a vehicle in the dark, its headlights and taillights must beon and clearly visible.
Cyclists
Examples of what City Safety would interpret to be a cyclist: clear body and bicycle shapes.
For good performance, the system's function for cyclist detection needs the clearest possi-ble information about the contours of the bicy-cle and of the cyclist's head, arm, shoulders,legs, torso and lower body in combinationwith normal human movements. If large portions of the cyclist's body or the bicycle itself are not visible to the function'scamera, it will not be able to detect a cyclist. The system can only detect adult cyclists rid- ing on bicycles intended for adults.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all cyclists in allsituations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured cyclists.
cyclists if the contrast to the cyclist's background is poor.
cyclists in clothing that hides theirbody contour.
bikes loaded with large objects.
Warnings and brake interventions may occur late or not at all. The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the vehicle isdriven correctly and with a safety distance suitable for the speed.

Pedestrians
Examples of what the system considers to be a pedestrian: clear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function for pedestrian detection needs the clearestpossible information about the contours of thepedestrian's head, arm, shoulders, legs, torsoand lower body in combination with normalhuman movements. In order to detect a pedestrian, there must be a contrast to the background, which coulddepend on clothing, weather conditions, etc. Ifthere is little contrast, the person may bedetected late or not at all, which may result ina delayed reaction from the system or no reac-tion at all. City Safety can detect pedestrians even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by thevehicle's headlights.
WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all pedestrians inall situations and, for example, cannot see:
partially obscured pedestrians, people in clothing that hides their body con-tour or pedestrians shorter than 80 cm(32 in.).
pedestrians if the contrast to thepedestrian's background is poor.
pedestrians who are carrying largeobjects.
Warnings and brake interventions may occur late or not at all. The driver is alwaysresponsible for ensuring that the vehicle isdriven correctly and with a safety distancesuitable for the speed.
Large animals
Examples of what City Safety would interpret as a large animal: stationary or moving slowly and withclear body contours.
For good performance, the system's function for detecting large animals (e.g. moose,horses, etc.) needs the clearest possible infor-mation about body contours. This entailsbeing able to detect the animal straight fromthe side in combination with normal move-ments for that animal. If parts of the animal's body are not visible to the function's camera, the system will not beable to detect the animal. City Safety can detect large animals even in dark conditions if they are illuminated by thevehicle's headlights.
