Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System

If equipped, the 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 windshield and rapidly beeps or
pulses the driver seat. FPB can
provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This
system includes Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA), and the Forward
Automatic Braking (FAB) system

may also respond to pedestrians.

.

The FPB system can detect and
alert to pedestrians in a forward
gear at speeds between 8 km/h
(5 mph) and 80 km/h (50 mph).
During daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a distance
of approximately 40 m (131 ft).
During nighttime driving, system
performance is very limited.

{

Warning

FPB does not provide an alert or

including children:

.

When the pedestrian is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when

including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,

by dirt, snow, or ice.

.

If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
