detected ahead. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too quickly, FPB
provides a red flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat. FPB can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This system
includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system may also respond to
pedestrians. See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0 307.
The FPB system can detect and alert
to pedestrians in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime
driving, the system detects
pedestrians up to a distance of
approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance
is very limited.
Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle,
unless it detects a pedestrian. FPB
may not detect pedestrians,
including children:
Warning (Continued)
When the pedestrian is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when part
of a group.
Due to poor visibility, including
nighttime conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
If the FPB sensor is blocked by
dirt, snow, or ice.
If the headlamps or windshield
are not cleaned or in proper
condition.
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. For more information,
see Defensive Driving 0 227. Keep
the windshield, headlamps, and FPB
sensor clean and in good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert
and Brake through vehicle
personalization. See Collision/
Detection Systems under Vehicle
Personalization 0 133.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will
not occur unless the FPB system
detects a pedestrian. When a nearby
pedestrian is detected in front of the
vehicle, the pedestrian ahead indicator
will display amber.
