Additional information:

Principle
The Daytime Pedestrian Collision Mitigation is
a warning function that notifies the driver of a
possible risk of collision with pedestrians and
cyclists and brakes automatically as neces-
sary. The system issues warnings for speeds
that are common in towns and cities.
System limits
General information
Follow the system limits in the "Forward Colli-
sion Mitigation" chapter.
In the event of an accident, the system helps
by reducing impact speed.
Detection range
General information
The detection range in front of the vehicle is
divided into two areas:
▷
Central area, arrow 1, directly in front of the
vehicle.
Sensors detect the traffic situation in their de-
tection range.
▷
Extended area, arrows 2, to the right and
left of the central area.
The system issues a warning of a possible
risk of collision with pedestrians or cyclists at
speeds above approx. 3 mph/5 km/h.
There is a risk of collision if persons, e.g.,
pedestrians or cyclists, are located within the
central area. A warning is issued about pedes-
trians who are located within the extended
area only if they are moving in the direction of
the central area.
Safety information
Follow the safety information in Chapter “For-
ward Collision Mitigation”.
The following situations may not be detected,
for instance:
