Driving
Pedestrian and cyclist recognition technolo-
gy cannot e
x
ceed the physically prescribed
limits and works exclusively within the sys-
tem’s limits. The responsibility for braking al-
ways depends on the driver.
The pedestrian and cyclist recognition can
cause undesired warnings and braking inter-
ventions, e.g. with a hidden radar sensor or a
dirty camera field of vision.
Be ready to take charge of the vehicle at any
time.
The pedestrian and cyclist recognition oper-
ating speed range is lower than that of the
Front Assist.
Dodge assist
Dodge assist helps the driver avoid an obsta-
cl
e in critical conditions.
Once the Fr
ont Assist has activated a critical
warning, if the driver intends on dodging the
object, the dodge assist will help correct the
trajectory. The driver must start and finish the
manoeuvre, as this is an assistance system
and not an autonomous one.
Front Assist is active between approx. 30
km/h (20 mph) and 150 km/h (90 mph).
Limitations
This system does not react to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic
limitations of the Front Assist must also be
taken into account

Turn assist
Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
approaching in the opposit
e direction, by
braking the vehicle itself when the intention is
to turn.
This system is active up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
Limitations
The turn-off assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by acti-
vating the turn signal, you have turned the
steering wheel and the turning path has star-
ted.
It only reacts to vehicles that are in the path
of the vehicle (not to animals, people, etc.).
The basic limitations of the Front Assist must
also be taken into account

System limitations
Fig. 177 On the instrument panel display: ini-
tial system self
-calibration indication.
Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the syst
em. Thus, in cert
ain circumstances,
some of the reactions may be inappropriate
from the driver's standpoint. So pay attention
in order to intervene if necessary.
The following conditions may cause the
Front Assist not to react or to do so too
late:
●
In the first few instants of driving after
switching on the ignition, due to the system’s
initial auto-calibration. During this phase, the
instrument panel screen will display the fol-
lowing indication

Unrecognised objects
●
Vehicles travelling outside the reach of the
sensors at close range from your own vehicle.
