If large parts of the cyclist's body or bicycle are
not visible to the function's camera then the sys-
tem cannot detect a cyclist.
For the function to be able to detect a cyclist,
he/she must be an adult and riding a bicycle
designed for adults.
Pedestrians
Examples of what the function regards as
pedestrians with clear body outlines.
Good performance requires that the camera
and radar units that detect a pedestrian must
receive the clearest possible information about
the body outline, requiring the ability to identify
the head, arms, shoulders, legs, upper and lower
body plus a normal human pattern of move-
ment.
In order that it shall be possible to detect a
pedestrian there must be a contrast with the
background and this will be affected by such
things as clothes, the background and the
weather. With poor contrast the pedestrian may
either be detected late or not at all, which may
mean that warnings and braking are late or
omitted.
The function can also detect pedestrians in the
dark if they are illuminated by the car's head-
lamps.

WARNING
• The warning and application of the
brake may be delayed, or not happen
at all. The driver is always responsible
that the vehicle is driven correctly and
with a safety distance adapted to the
speed.
• The function is a supplementary driver
support, but it cannot detect all cyclists
in all situations and, for example, can-
not see:
• partially obscured cyclists.
• cyclists who do not stand out
against the background.
• cyclists wearing clothing that
obscures the body outline.
• bicycles loaded with large objects.
