Front pedestrian protection

Front pedestrian protection may help
to 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.
Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds between 8
km/h and 80 km/h. Additionally Front
pedestrian protection 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 is limited.
Front pedestrian protection can be
set to Off, Alert, or Alert & Brake in
vehicle personalisation 3 126.
9 Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly
ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead
● front pedestrian alert
● automatic braking
