Driving and operating197Front pedestrian protection includes:● detecting front pedestrian ahead
● front pedestrian alert
● automatic braking
Detecting 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. On vehicles with head-up
display, 7 is projected on the
windscreen.
Front pedestrian alert
When approaching a detected
pedestrian too quickly, the collision
alert symbol pops up in the Driver Information Centre and the pop-upsymbol 7 in the head-up display is
projected on the windscreen in the
driver's field of view. 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 directly
ahead 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 3 170.
This system includes Intelligent brake
assist, and the Emergency automatic braking system may also respond to
pedestrians.
Active emergency braking 3 193.
Automatic braking can be disabled in
the vehicle personalisation menu
3 122.
General information9 Warning
The driver must always be ready
to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.
