emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
Driver emergency braking assistance sys-
t
em
If the driver, after the critical warning, starts
braking but the system detects that the brake
is not being applied with sucient force, the
braking intensity will be increased.
WARNING
●
The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by r
educing the speed and the
force of the impact.
●
When the Front Assist causes a braking, the
brake pedal is “harder”.
●
Automatic interventions by the Front Assist
on the brakes may be interrupted by pressing
the clutch, accelerator or moving the wheel.
●
The Front Assist may brake the vehicle until
it stops completely. However, the brake sys-
tem does not halt the vehicle permanently.
Use the foot brake!
System limitations
Fig.110 On the instrument clust
er screen:
indication of the system’s initial self-calibration.
Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the syst
em. Thus, in certain 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 switch-
ing on the ignition, due to the system’s initial
auto-calibration. During this period, a status
icon ›››Fig.110 is displayed.
Unrecognised objects
●
Loads and accessories of other vehicles that
pr
otrude over the sides, backwards or over the
top.
●
If there are metal objects, e.g. guard rails or
sheets used in road works.
●
Other vehicles crossing the vehicle’s path.
●
Misaligned vehicles.
●
Narrow vehicles such as motorcycles.
●
Vehicles approaching in the opposite direc-
tion.
Operating limitations
●
If the radar sensor is disabled or faulty.
●
If the radar sensor is dirty or covered.
●
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
●
When pressing the accelerator firmly or at full
throttle.
●
If the TCS has been disconnected or the ESC
is activated in Sport mode ›››page135.
●
If the ESC is adjusting or is broken.
●
If several brake lights of the vehicle or electri-
cally connected trailer are damaged.
●
If the vehicle is reversing.
●
In case of snow or heavy rain.
●
In complex driving situations (such as trac
islands, cut-through roundabouts, etc), Front
Assist may issue warnings and intervene in
braking in an unnecessary manner.
