Front Detection
Whether in the delivery zone of a supermarket, when leaving the workshop or in hectic inner city traffic: people may be located directly in front of the vehicle where they are difficult to see. When moving off and at speeds of up to 10 km/h, Front Detection monitors the close range in front of the vehicle, which is difficult or impossible for the driver to see, and warns the driver in two stages if it has detected particularly vulnerable, “weaker” road users, such as pedestrians or cyclists. Front Detection thus helps to increase safety and prevent accidents. It relieves the strain on the driver, in particular during urban driving.
Front Detection supplements the Emergency Brake Assist EBA Plus, which includes a comparable protective function for particularly vulnerable road users, but only becomes active at speeds above 10 km/h.
