System limitations
The Front Assist has certain physical limita-

standpoint. So pay attention in order to inter-
vene 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.
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
Pressing the accelerator all the way down.
If the Front Assist is switched off or dam-
aged.

ESC activated in Sport mode manually
