Switching the Front Assist off tempo-
rarily in the following situations

shou
l
d be de
activated due to the system's
limitations:
●

●
If the vehicle is on a test bed.
●
When the radar sensor is damaged.
●
If the radar sensor takes a heavy knock, for
example in a rear collision.
●
If it intervenes several times unnecessarily.
●
If the radar sensor is covered temporarily
with some kind of accessory, such as an ad-
ditional headlight or the like.
●
When the vehicle is to be loaded on a lorry,
ferry or train.
System limitations
The Front Assist has certain physical limita-
tions inher
ent to the system. Thus, in certain
circumstances, some of the system's reac-
tions may be inopportune from the driver's
standpoint. So pay attention in order to inter-
vene 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
switc
hing on the ignition, due to the system’s
initial auto-calibration.
●
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
●
Pressing the accelerator all the way down.
●
If the Front Assist is switched off or dam-
aged.
●
If the ASR has been disconnected or the
ESC activated in Sport mode manually
›››
page 191.
●
If the ESC is controlling.
●
If several brake lights of the vehicle or elec-
trically
connected trailer are damaged.
