Vehicle messages 3 104.
Front pedestrian protection Front pedestrian protection may helpto avoid or reduce the harm causedby front-end crashes with pedestrians
when driving forward.
The system uses the front camera in
the windscreen and a radar unit in the
front bumper to detect a pedestrian
directly ahead in your path.
Front pedestrian protection can
detect and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds between3 mph and 37 mph. Additionally front
pedestrian protection can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle.
During nighttime driving, system
performance is limited.9 Danger
Front pedestrian braking does not
provide an alert or automatically
brake the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian.
The system may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, not
standing upright, or when part of a
group.
Front pedestrian protection includes:
● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert
Front pedestrian protection is
activated together with forward

carrier to the trailer hitch, the parking
assist is deactivated.9 Warning
The driver bears full responsibility
for the parking manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area when driving backwards or
forwards while using parking
assist system.
Rear parking assist
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Activation
Rear parking assist is activated when reverse gear is engaged and ignition
is switched on.
Driving and operating175The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the parking assist button
¼ is not illuminated.
Indication
The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially
hazardous obstacles behind the
vehicle in a distance range up to
50 cm while reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on which side of the
vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals in
the vehicle on the respective side.
The interval between the sounds
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to that obstacle. When the
distance is less than approx. 30 cm,
the sound is continuous.
Additionally, the distance to rear

The front-rear parking assist
measures the distance between the
vehicle and obstacles in front and
176Driving and operatingbehind the vehicle. It informs and
warns the driver by giving acoustic
signals and display indication.
It uses two different acoustic warning
signals for the front and rear
monitoring areas, each with a
different tone frequency.
The system operates with ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear and front
bumper.
Activation
In addition to the rear parking assist,
the front parking assist is triggered
when an obstacle is detected in front
and the speed of the vehicle is below 6 mph.
The system is ready to operate when
the LED in the parking assist button
¼ is not illuminated.

does not work temporarily, e.g.
because of high external noise level
or other interference factors, H
illuminates in the instrument cluster. A message is displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
