body and the person must be at least 32 in.
(80 cm) tall.
•
The system cannot detect a pedestrian carry-
ing a large object.
•
The camera's capacity to see a pedestrian 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 pedestrian in darkness or in tun-
nels, even if there is street lighting in the
area.
WARNING
•
Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with Full
Auto Brake is designed to be a supple-
mentary driving aid. It is not, however,
intended to replace the driver's attention
and judgement. The driver is always
responsible for operating the vehicle in a
safe manner.
•
The system cannot detect all pedestrians
in all situations, such as in darkness/at
night and cannot detect partially hidden
pedestrians, people who are less than
approx. 32 in. (80 cm) tall, or people
wearing clothing that obscures the con-
tours of their bodies.

Collision warning* – limitations
Strong sunlight, reflections, extreme light con-
trasts, the use of sunglasses, or if the driver is not
looking straight ahead may make the visual warn-
ing signal in the windshield difficult to see. For
this reason, always activate the audible warning
signal.
Slippery driving conditions increase braking dis-
tance, which can reduce the system's capacity to
avoid a collision. In these conditions, the ABS and
stability systems provide the best possible brak-
ing effect while helping to maintain stability.
NOTE
The visual warning signal may be temporarily
disengaged in the event of high passenger
compartment temperature due to strong sun-
light, etc. If this occurs, the audible warning
signal will be used, even if it has been deacti-
vated in the menu system.
