City Assist, and Parking Assist with Parking aid plus
With these safety features they provide a 360° "bubble" around the car using built in cameras and sensors. These cameras and sensors can help you and the car adjust so you don't damage your alloys or help you provide faster braking if things suddenly come out of "nowhere", such as reversing cars in a car park.
