228 Driving and Operating
A system unavailable message may
display if:
.
The front of the vehicle or windshield is
not clean.
.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with
object detection.
.
There is a problem with the StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
The AEB system does not need service.
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System
If equipped, the FPB system may help avoid
or reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes with nearby pedestrians when
driving in a forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a nearby
pedestrian is detected ahead. When
approaching a detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red flashing alert on
the windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat. FPB can provide a boost to
braking or automatically brake the vehicle.
This system includes Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA), and the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system may also respond to
pedestrians. See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0 226.
The FPB system can detect and alert to
pedestrians in a forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph). During daytime driving, the
system detects pedestrians up to a distance
of approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance is
very limited. If the vehicle is equipped with
the Night Vision system, during night time
driving, the vehicle can detect and alert
pedestrians when driving in a forward gear.
{
Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle, unless it
detects a pedestrian. FPB may not detect
pedestrians, including children:
.
When the pedestrian is not directly
ahead, fully visible, or standing
upright, or when part of a group.
.
Due to poor visibility, including
nighttime conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.
If the FPB sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice.
.
If the headlamps or windshield are not
cleaned or in proper condition.

Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and apply the
brakes. For more information, see
Defensive Driving 0 176. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and FPB sensor
clean and in good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert and
Brake through vehicle settings. To view
available settings for this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle” to display the list of
available options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will not
occur unless the FPB system detects a
pedestrian. When a nearby pedestrian is
detected in front of the vehicle, the
pedestrian ahead indicator will display
amber.
