Emergency brake assis-
tance system (Front As-
sist)
Introduction
The objective of the system is to prevent head-
on collisions against objects that may be in the
vehicle’s path or minimise the consequences
of such impacts.
The function is designed to avoid collisions
against:
●
Parked vehicles.
●
Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists that are
travelling in the same lane and direction.
●
Pedestrians and cyclists who transversely
cross the vehicle path.
Front Assist detects these objects using a
camera on the top of the windscreen and
a radar sensor on the front of the vehicle
›››page166.
Depending on several factors and how critical
the situation is, the system operates in a stag-
gered manner.
First by informing the driver, and if there is no
or insuicient reaction, then by activating an
autonomous emergency braking or an evasive
manoeuvre as indicated by the conditions that
will be discussed in the following points.
The system can be cancelled if the accelerator
pedal is pressed or the steering wheel is turned
rmly.
Depending on the equipment and the country,
Front Assist also includes the following func-
tions:
●

●

WARNING
●
Front Assist is a driving assistance function
that can never replace the driver’s attention.
●
Front Assist cannot change the laws of
physics or replace the driver in terms of
keeping control of the vehicle and reacting
to a possible emergency situation.
●
Following a Front Assist emergency warn-
ing, pay immediate attention to the situation
and try to avoid the collision where appropri-
ate.
Warning levels and brake assist
Front Assist is active from 5km/h (3mph).
Depending on dierent conditions (vehicle
speed, speed and type of object recognised,
etc.), some of the stages described below are
omitted to optimise the performance of the
system.
Safety distance warning
If the system detects that you are
driving too close to the vehicle in
front, it will warn the driver with
this indication on the instrument cluster
display.
The timing of the warning varies depending
on driver behaviour, vehicle speed and relative
speed between both.
The safety distance warning is active from ap-
prox. 65km/h (40mph).
Advance warning
If the system detects a possible collision
with the vehicle in front, it alerts the
driver by means of an audible warning
and an indication on the instrument panel
display .
The warning moment varies depending on the
traic situation and driver behaviour. At the
same time, the vehicle will prepare for a possi-
ble emergency braking ››› in Introduction
