Cyclist detection

04
Optimal example of what the system considers
to be a cyclist: clear body/bike contours, straight
from behind and directly in front of the vehicle
In order to help detect a cyclist, the system
has to receive clear information about the
contours of the cyclist's body and the bike. It
has to able to clearly detect the bike, the
cyclist's head, arms, shoulders, legs and
upper and lower body combined with the per-
son's pattern of movement when cycling.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The function only detects cyclists from behind
who are moving in the same direction as your
vehicle
The Cyclist Detection feature requires the fol-
lowing in order to function:
•
The cyclist must be an adult riding an
"adult-size" bike
•
The bike must be equipped with an
approved and clearly visible rear-facing
red reflector that is mounted at least
27 in. (70 cm) above the road surface
•
The feature can only detect a cyclist
straight from behind and who is moving in
the same direction as your vehicle
•
A cyclist who is to the left or right of your
vehicle may be detected late or not at all.
•
The camera's capacity to see a cyclist at
dawn or dusk is limited, much as it is for
the human eye.
•
The camera's function is deactivated and
will not detect a cyclist in darkness or in
tunnels, even if there is street lighting in
the area.
•
For optimal cyclist detection, City
Safety™ must be activated (see
page 172)
