Pre-cleaning *
Pre-cleaning of the vehicle before driving is used to improve the air quality in the passen-ger compartment.
It is only possible to activate pre-cleaning manually from the center display, but the func-tion is also started automatically when pre-conditioning has finished. The function uses the ventilation system to blow fresh air into the passenger compart-ment and then circulates the air through theclimate system's passenger compartment airfilter.

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.

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.

WARNING
City Safety is supplementary driver sup- port, but it cannot detect all large animalsin all situations and, for example, cannotsee: partially obscured larger animals.
larger animals seen from the front or from behind.
running or fast moving larger animals.
larger animals if the contrast to the ani-mal's background is poor.
smaller animals such as cats and dogs.
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.

Limitations of City Safety in crossing traffic
In certain situations, it may be difficult for
City Safety to help the driver avoid a collisionwith crossing traffic.
For example:
On slippery roads when Electronic Stabil- ity Control (ESC) is actively operating.
If an approaching vehicle is detected at alate stage.
If the oncoming vehicle is partiallyobstructed by another vehicle or object.
If the oncoming vehicle's headlights areoff.
If the oncoming vehicle is moving errati-cally and e.g. suddenly changes lanes at alate stage.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.
