Warning function for
pedestrians
Principle
The Pedestrian Warning system warns you of
a possible risk of collision with pedestrians and
cyclists by displaying a warning light on the
instrument cluster. This system also brakes
automatically when necessary. You can cancel
automatic brake intervention manually, e.g., by
actively moving the steering wheel.
The system issues warnings for speeds that
are common in towns and cities.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
The sensors detect the traffic situation in their
detection range on a straight road.
In addition, the sensors detect the traffic situa-
tion in their detection range when turning.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in Chapter “For-
ward Collision Mitigation”.
Speed range
The Pedestrian Warning function is activated
when your vehicle speed is greater than ap-
prox. 3 mph/5 km/h.
