Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will not
occur unless the FPB system detects a
pedestrian or cyclist. When a nearby
pedestrian or cyclist is detected in front of
the vehicle, the pedestrian ahead indicator
will display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches a pedestrian
or cyclist ahead too rapidly, the red FPB
alert display will flash on the windscreen.
Eight rapid high-pitched beeps will sound
from the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, 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 needed. Cruise control may be
disengaged when the Front Pedestrian Alert
occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to crash into a
pedestrian or cyclist directly ahead, and the
brakes have not been applied, FPB may
automatically brake moderately or brake
hard. This can help to avoid some very low
speed pedestrian crashes or reduce
pedestrian injury. FPB can automatically
brake to detected pedestrians between
8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h (50 mph).
Automatic braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such as higher
speeds.
If this happens, Automatic Braking may
engage the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to
hold the vehicle at a stop. Release the EPB.
A firm press of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic Braking and the EPB.

Warning
FPB 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 or cyclists,
including shadows. This is normal
operation and the vehicle does not need
service. To override Automatic Braking,
firmly press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled through
vehicle personalisation. To view available
settings for this feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home page. Select
