will not occur unless the FPB
system detects a pedestrian. When
a nearby pedestrian is detected in
front of the vehicle, the pedestrian
ahead indicator will display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
If Head-Up Display (HUD) is not
equipped, when the vehicle
approaches a pedestrian ahead too
rapidly, the red FPB alert display will
flash on the windshield.
