Driving and Operating
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the Front Pedestrian
Braking (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 directly ahead. When
approaching a detected pedestrian
too quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the windscreen and
rapidly beeps. FPB can provide a
boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This system
includes Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA), and the Autonomous
Emergency Braking (AEB) system
may also respond to pedestrians.
See
.
The FPB system can detect and
provide an alert to pedestrians while
the vehicles is in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h and
80 km/h. During daytime driving, the
system detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately 40 m.
During night time driving, system
performance is very limited.
{
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 night time
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.
If the FPB sensor is blocked
by dirt, snow, or ice.
.
If the headlamps or
windscreen are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and apply
the brakes. Keep the windscreen,
headlamps and FPB sensor clean
and in good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert, or Alert
and Brake through vehicle
personalisation. See
“
Collision/
Detection Systems

under
.
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
directly in front of the vehicle, the
pedestrian ahead indicator will
display amber.
