Assistant systems
213
Emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
Dodge assist
Dodge assist helps the driver avoid an obstacle
in critical conditions.
Once the Front Assist has activated a critical
warning, if the driver intends on dodging the
object, the dodge assist will help correct the
trajectory. The driver must start and nish the
manoeuvre, as this is an assistance system and
not an autonomous one.
The system is active between approximately
30km/h (20mph) and 150km/h (90mph).
Limitations
This system does not react to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic limi-
tations of Front Assist should also be taken into
account ›››page213.
Turn-o assist
Turn-o assist can avoid a collision with a vehi-
cle approaching in the opposite direction, by
braking the vehicle itself when the intention is
to turn.
This system is active up to 20km/h (12mph).
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 the Front Assist must
also be taken into account›››page213.
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

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.
Operational limitations
In the following situations, the Front Assist may
work late or in an undesirable manner.
●
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-
