Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System
{ Warning
F
PB does not provide an alert or
au
tomatically brake the vehicle, unless it
detects apedestrian or bicyclist. FPB may
not detect pedestrians, including children,
or bicyclists:
•
When the pedestrian or bicyclist 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 3170. Keep the windshield,
headlamps, and FPB sensor clean and in
good repair.
If equipped, the FPB system may help avoid or
r
e
duce the harm caused by front-end crashes
with pedestrians and bicyclists near the
forward path of the vehicle when driving in
aforward gear. FPB displays an amber
indicator, ~, when anearby pedestrian or
bicyclist 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 or bicyclists.
See Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) 3 237.
Always wear aseat belt and ensure that all
passengers are properly restrained.
The FPB system can detect and alert to
pe
destrians or bicyclists 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 or bicyclists up
to adistance of approximately 40 m (131 ft).
During nighttime driving, system performance
is very limited.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert and
Brake through vehicle settings. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings >Vehicle >Collision/
Detection Systems.
Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will not occur
u
nless the FPB system detects apedestrian or
bicyclist. When apedestrian or bicyclist that
may enter the forward path of the vehicle is
detected, the pedestrian ahead indicator will
display amber.
