An apparatus for activating a pedestrian detection and collision mitigation system (PDCMS) of a vehicle includes: an engine management system (EMS) acquiring speed information of the vehicle in real-time; an image collecting unit recognizing a pedestrian positioned within a driving lane of the vehicle and detecting information of a relative speed or a distance between the pedestrian and the vehicle, when a speed of the vehicle is greater than or equal to a set speed; and an electronic control unit (ECU) activating a PDCMS function based on a mapping table using the speed information of the vehicle and information of a motion or a distance of the pedestrian with respect to the vehicle, and controlling a warning unit to inform a driver of a collision of the pedestrian with the vehicle. The PDCMS function includes activating an operation of an active hood, activating an operation of the warning unit, and activating an operation of a brake regardless of whether the driver operates the brake. The activation of the operation of the warning unit and the activation of the operation of the brake comprise, in order: activating the operation of the warning unit, activating a partial braking of the vehicle, and activating a full braking of the vehicle.
