Front pedestrian protection

The front pedestrian protection
system may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end crashes
with nearby pedestrians when driving
in a forward gear.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen to detect a pedestrian
directly ahead in your path.
The front pedestrian protection
system can detect and alert about
pedestrians when in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h and
80 km/h.
Additionally, the front pedestrian
protection system can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle.
During daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a distance
of approximately 40 metres. During
nighttime driving, system
performance might be limited.
The front pedestrian protection can
be set to Off, Alert or Alert and
