Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB a
lerts and automatic braking will not occur
unless the FPB system detects apedestrian.
When anearby pedestrian is detected directly
in front of the vehicle, the pedestrian ahead
indicator will display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
When the vehicle approaches apedestrian
ahead too rapidly, the red FPB alert display
will flash on the windshield. Eight rapid high-
pitched beeps will sound from the front.
When this Pedestrian Alert occurs, the brake
system may prepare for driver braking to occur
more rapidly which can cause abrief, mild
deceleration. C
ontinue to apply the brake pedal
as needed. Cruise control may be disengaged
when the Front Pedestrian Alert occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to crash into
apedestrian directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB may automatically
brake moderately or brake hard. This can help
to avoid some very low speed pedestrian
crashes or reduce pedestrian injury. FPB can
automatically brake to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h (50
mph). Automatic braking levels may be
reduced under certain conditions, such as
higher speeds.
If this happens, Automatic Braking may engage
the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the
vehicle at astop. Release the EPB. Afirm
press of the accelerator pedal will also release
Automatic Braking and the EPB.
