Driving and Operating
a nearby pedestrian is detected
directly in front of the vehicle, the
pedestrian ahead indicator will
display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
When the vehicle approaches a
pedestrian ahead too rapidly, the
red FPB alert display will flash on
the windscreen. Eight rapid
high-pitched beeps will sound from
the front. 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 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 and 80 km/h. 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. Pressing
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,
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. See
