The displayed icon may vary and shows the side

detected.
Warning of people or animals in
danger
If a collision with a person or an animal detected
in this way is imminent, a warning symbol ap‐
pears on the instrument cluster and in the Head-
up Display.
Although both the shape and the heat radiation
are analyzed, unwarranted warnings cannot be
ruled out.
Warning area in front of the vehicle
The warning area for the Pedestrian Warning
consists of two parts:
▷ Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.
▷ Extended area, arrows 2, to the right and left
of the central area.
With animal warnings, no distinction is made be‐
tween the central or extended area.
The entire area moves along with the vehicle di‐
rection according to the steering angle and
changes with the vehicle speed. As the vehicle
speed increases, the area becomes, for instance
longer and wider.
Prewarning
Prewarning for persons is displayed when a per‐
son is detected in the central area immediately in
front of the vehicle as well as on the left or right
side in the extended area.

covered, especially when their heads are cov‐
ered.
