Daytime Pedestrian
Collision Mitigation
Principle
At speeds that are common in towns and cit-
ies, the Daytime Pedestrian Collision Mitigation
function warns the driver of a possible risk
of collision with pedestrians and cyclists. The
system may brake automatically.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
General information
Sensors detect the traffic situation in their de-
tection range.
The system issues a warning of a possible
risk of collision with pedestrians or cyclists at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in Chapter "For-
ward Collision Mitigation".
Display in the instrument cluster

Detection range
The detection range in front of the vehicle is
divided into two areas:
▷ Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.
▷ Extended area, arrows 2, to the right and
left of the central area.
There is a risk of collision if persons, e.g.,
pedestrians or cyclists, are located within the
central area. A warning is issued about pedes-
trians who are located within the extended
area only if they are moving in the direction of
the central area.
The following situations may not be detected,
for instance:
▷ Partially covered pedestrians or bikes.
▷ Pedestrians that are not detected as such
because of their contour or posture.
▷ Pedestrians with insufficient height.
