Driver Assistance Systems
The difference between full and
reduced performance is not visible for
the driver.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking
(PEB) System (if equipped)
PEB is a sub-system of FCW and it
provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings on the
instrument cluster display, and may
6
apply automatic braking when it
detect a potential frontal collision with
a pedestrian.
NOTE:
The PEB function is only active up to
37 MPH (60 km/h).

WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is
not intended to avoid a collision on its
own, nor can PEB detect every type
of potential collision with pedestrian.
The driver has the responsibility to
avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering.
Failure to follow this warning could
lead to serious injury or death.
PEB System Limitations
PEB may be impaired or may not
function in the following situations:
• If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
insufficient illumination of the road,
if there are highly variable shade
conditions or in rain, snow or fog.
• If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming
traffic, direct sunlight or reflections
from other vehicles.
• If the windshield in the area of the
camera is dirty, or if the camera is
fogged up, damaged or covered.
System Operation
The FCW provides audible and
visual warnings when a potential
collision is detected. Brake jerk and
limited braking may also be applied
depending on the specific scenario.
FCW monitors the information from
the forward looking radar sensor as
well as the Electronic Brake Controller
(EBC), to calculate the probability
of a forward collision. When the
system determines that a forward
collision is probable, the driver will
be provided with audible and visual
warnings and may provide a warning
brake jerk. If the driver does not
take actuation based upon these
progressive warnings, then the system
will provide a limited level of active
braking to help slow down the vehicle
and mitigate the potential forward
collision. If the driver reacts to the
warnings by braking and the system
determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has
not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide
additional brake force as required.
When the system determines a
collision with the vehicle in front of
you is no longer probable, the warning
messages will be deactivated.
NOTE:
• Bad weather conditions, like strong
rain, snow, etc., can lead to reduced
system performance. Under these
conditions relevant objects will not
be detected or detected late by the
system.
