pedestrians, cyclists or large animals that are
crossing the road in front of your vehicle.
The seat belt tensioner may be activated when
the automatic braking function is triggered.
1 - Collision warning
The driver is first alerted to the risk of an immi-
nent collision.
If there is a risk of a collision with a pedestrian,
large animal, cyclist or another vehicle, the
driver will be alerted with light, sound and pul-
sations in the brake pedal. At lower speeds,
during hard braking or if the accelerator pedal
is pressed, the brake pedal pulsation warning
will not be given. The intensity of the brake
pedal pulsations varies according to the vehi-
cle's speed.
In certain situations, auto-braking may begin
with a limited braking force before applying
full braking force.
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display*,
a flashing warning symbol will be displayed on
the windshield.
If City Safety has prevented a collision, the
vehicle will be kept at a standstill until the
driver takes action. If the vehicle has slowed to
avoid colliding with a slower-moving vehicle
ahead, your speed will be reduced to that vehi-
cle's speed.
2 - Brake assistance
If the risk of a collision increases after the colli-
sion warning, brake support will be activated.
Auto-braking can always be cancelled if the
driver presses hard on the accelerator pedal.
If the system determines that the pressure the
driver is exerting on the brake pedal is insuffi-
cient to prevent the collision, brake support
will increase pressure.
NOTE
When City Safety activates the brakes, the
brake lights come on.

3 - Auto-brake
The automatic braking function is activated at
the last moment.
When City Safety applies the brakes, a text
message will appear in the instrument panel
to notify the driver that the function is/was
activated.
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 is
not looking straight ahead.
If the driver has not taken evasive action by
this stage and a collision is imminent, the
automatic braking function will be triggered.
This occurs whether or not the driver is press-
ing the brake pedal. Full braking force will be
applied to reduce the speed at impact or
reduced braking effect will be applied if this is
sufficient to avoid the collision.
WARNING
City Safety may not be used to change
how the driver operates the vehicle. The
driver must not only rely on City Safety to
brake the vehicle.
City Safety can detect pedestrians, cyclists or
vehicles that are stationary, are moving in the
same direction as your vehicle and are ahead
of your vehicle. City Safety can also detect
