may
be
provided
even
when
there
has
been
no
prior
warning.
Braking
intervention
The
warning
prompts
the
driver
to
intervene.
The
system
may
also
assist
in
braking
if
there
is a
risk
of
collision.
The
vehicle
can
be
decelerated
to
a
standstill. The
braking
intervention
occurs
only
if
vehicle stability
has
not
been
restricted,
for
instance
bydeactivating
the

may
interrupt
the

by
stepping
on
the

or by
actively
moving
the

detection
potential
is
limited.
Thus,
a

before
an

independently,
if
needed.
General
information The

issues
a
warning
of
a
possible
risk
ofcollision
with
pedestrians
and
cyclists
at

above
approx.
3

km/h.
The
system
reacts
to
pedestrians
and

An

scans
the
area
in

of
thevehicle
and

a

if
it

pedesjtrians
and
animals
on

The

warm
objects
that
are
similar
in

to
human

or

If

the

can

General
information
Thermal
image
The
image
shows
the
heat
radiated
by
objects
in
the
field
of
view
of
the
camera.
Warm
objects
have
a
light
appearance
and
cold
objects
a
dark
appearance.
The
ability
to
detect
an
object
depends
on
the temperature
difference
between
the
object
and
the
background
and
on
the
level
of
heat
radiation
emitted
by
the
object.
Objects
that
are
similar
in
temperature
to
the
environment
or
that
radiate
very
little
heat
are
difficult
to
detect.
For
safety
reasons,
when
driving
at
speeds above
approx.
3
mph/5
km/h
and
in
low
ambientlight,
the
image
is
only
displayed
when
the
low

Objects
whose

is
similar
to

are
detected.
In
addition,
the
system
also

a

minimum
size,
for
instance
deer.
