ACTIVE CITY STOP
General Information
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
At all times you are responsible for
controlling your vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if
required.
Never look directly into the sensor
with any type of object. There is a risk
of eye injury.
If the sensor becomes blocked the
system may not function.
To achieve full system performance,
you must bed the braking system in.
See Breaking-In (page 129).
The system performance may vary
depending on your vehicle and road
conditions.
The system will not react to vehicles
driving in a different direction.
The system will not react to bicycles,
motorcycles, people or animals.
When the ignition is on the sensor
will constantly transmit a laser
beam.
The system will not operate during
harsh acceleration and steering.
In cold and severe weather
conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow, spray and ice
can all influence the sensor.
Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding
the sensor.
WARNINGS
If you install a windshield not
approved by us, the system may not
function correctly.
If the engine stops after the system
has been switched on, the hazard
warning flashers will turn on.
The system may not function when
driving around sharp curves.
Note: Keep the windshield free from
obstructions such as bird droppings, insects,
snow or ice.
Note: Keep the hood free of ice and snow,
otherwise the system may not function
correctly.
A sensor is mounted behind the interior
rear view mirror. It continuously monitors
conditions to decide when to intervene.
The system is designed to help you reduce
low speed collisions into the rear of
another vehicle. It will also help you reduce
the impact damage or potentially avoid
the collision completely.
The system operates at speeds below
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) by
applying the brakes when the sensor
detects that a collision is likely.
You must depress the brake pedal to
obtain full braking force.
When the system is braking or has
automatically applied the brakes, a
message will be shown in the information
display.
