Assistant systems

emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
Limitations
This syst
em does not react to objects that cross
transversely or to animals. The basic limitations
of Front Assist should also be taken into ac-
count ›››page193.
Turn assist
Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
approaching in the opposite direction, by brak-
ing the vehicle itself when the intention is to
turn.
This system is active up to 15km/h (9mph).
Limitations
The turn-o assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by activat-
ing the turn signal, you have turned the steering
wheel and the turning path has started.
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›››page193.
System limitations
Fig.136 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. Notification of this phase will
be given by the following indication on the in-
strument cluster screen
.

ecognised objects
●
Vehicles travelling outside the reach of the
sensors at close range from your own vehicle.
●
Vehicles that suddenly change to the lane on
which your vehicle is travelling.
●
Pedestrians that cannot be recognised be-
cause they ar
e partially or totally hidden.
●
Objects such as walls, posts, fences, trees or
garage doors.

protrude over the sides, backwards or over the
top.
●
Other vehicles crossing the vehicle’s path.

In the case of pedestrians or cyclists standing
or approaching in the opposite direction.
