Detection range
With the Pedestrian Warning, the sensor
detection range consists of the following:
– From the middle area directly in front of
vehicle, arrow 1.
– From the enlarged area to the right and
left of the middle area, arrows 2.
The following situations may not be de-
tected, for instance:
– Partially covered pedestrians or bikes.
– Pedestrians that are not detected as
such because of their contour or pos-
ture.
– Pedestrians who are too small for the
sensors to detect.
Warning function at intersec-
tions
Principle
To warn the driver of a possible risk of colli-
sion with crossing traffic, the Intersection
Warning function displays a warning light
on the Interaction Unit and brakes automat-
ically when necessary. You can cancel auto-
matic brake intervention manually, e.g., by
actively moving the steering wheel.
At intersections and junctions, this system
issues warnings for speeds that are common
in towns and cities.
In the event of an accident, the system
helps by reducing impact speed.
The time of warnings may vary depending
on the current driving situation.
The sensors detect the traffic situation in
their detection range.
Vehicles crossing your driving direction can
be detected by the system as soon as these
vehicles enter into detection range of the
sensors.
