194Driving and operatingDetecting front pedestrian ahead
A pedestrian ahead up to a distance
of approx. 40 m is indicated by the
control indicator 7 in the instrument
cluster.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, the collision
alert symbol pops up in the Driver Information Centre. A warning chime
is provided. The brake system may
prepare for driver braking to occur
more rapidly which can cause a brief, mild deceleration. Continue to apply
the brake pedal as required.
Cruise control or Adaptive cruise
control may be disengaged when the Front pedestrian alert occurs.
Automatic braking If a crash into a pedestrian directlyahead is imminent, and the brakes
have not been applied, Automatic
braking may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This can
help to avoid some very low speed
pedestrian crashes or reduce
pedestrian injury.
Automatic braking levels may be reduced under certain conditions,
such as higher speeds.
If this happens, automatic braking
may engage the Electric parking
brake to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the parking brake. Pressing
the accelerator pedal will also release Automatic braking and Electric
parking brake 3 171.
This system includes Intelligent brake assist, and the Emergency automatic
braking system may also respond to
pedestrians.
Active emergency braking 3 190.Automatic braking can be disabled in
the vehicle personalisation menu
3 124.
General information9 Warning
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
9 Warning
Front pedestrian braking may alert
or automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It
could falsely alert or brake for
objects similar in shape or size to
pedestrians, including shadows.
This is normal operation and the
vehicle does not need a service.
To override Automatic braking,
firmly depress the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
