Assistant systems
Limitations
The turn-o 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 Front Assist must also
be taken into account›››page184.
System limitations
Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the system. 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:
The indication will be shown on the in-
strument cluster display in the rst few
instants of driving after switching on the
ignition, due to the system’s initial auto-
calibration.
Unrecognised 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 are partially or totally hidden.
●
Objects such as walls, posts, fences, trees or
garage doors.
●
Loads and accessories of other vehicles that
protrude over the sides, backwards or over the
top.
●
In the case of pedestrians or cyclists standing
or approaching in the opposite direction.
●
Other vehicles crossing the vehicle’s path.
Operating limitations
In the following situations, Front Assist may
work in a limited or unwanted way:
●
If the Front Assist or the front camera are
disabled or broken.
●
If the radar sensor or the front camera are
dirty or covered.
●
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
●
When pressing the accelerator rmly or at
full throttle.
●
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 case of dazzling sun or total darkness.
●
Entrances and exits of tunnels.
●
In complex driving situations (such as
traic
islands, cut-through roundabouts, etc.), Front
Assist may issue warnings and unnecessarily in-
tervene in braking.
For more details, see section ›››page166,
System limits.
Manual activation and deactivation
of the function
Front Assist indicators appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
Front Assist is active whenever the ignition is
switched on. When the vehicle is started, Front
Assist may not be available for a short period of
time while the system starts. During this phase,
the instrument cluster screen will display the
following indication
.
When Front Assist is deactivated, so too are
the advance warning and the distance warning
functions.
CUPRA recommends leaving Front Assist ac-
tivated except in the situations explained in
section page185, Temporarily deactivating
Front Assist.
Activating and deactivating Front Assist
With the ignition switched on, Front Assist can
be deactivated or activated as follows:
●
In the infotainment system: press the func-
tion button > Driver assist > Smart Assis-
tants > Front Assist ›››page33.
