City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles*

City Safety can help you apply the brakes for an oncoming vehicle in your lane.

If an oncoming vehicle veers into your lane and a collision is unavoidable, City Safety can help reduce your vehicle's speed to attempt to mitigate the force of the collision.

  • your vehicle must be positioned straight in your lane
  • the oncoming vehicle must be positioned within your vehicle's lane markings

  • the function can only handle “front-to-front” collisions
  • the function can only detect vehicles with four wheels

 Note

The function uses the vehicle's combined camera and radar unit, which has certain general limitations; see sections "Camera limitations" and "Radar sensor limitations".

 Warning

  • The "City Safety braking for oncoming vehicles" function is supplementary driver support intended to help improve driving safety – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • Warnings and brake interventions due to an imminent collision with an oncoming vehicle always come very late.
  • Never wait for a collision warning or for City Safety to intervene. If you notice any hazard or other potentially dangerous situation, always fully apply the brakes.
  • City Safety is not a substitute for the driver's attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
