Emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
If you adjust the indicated speed excessively,
the predictive speed adjustment is interrupted.
Note
●
When a speed limit is recognised, the pre-
dictive speed adjustment also adapts the
saved speed even if the ACC is switched o.
However, it will not regulate.
●
If the speed of travel considerably exceeds
the speed limit detected by the road signal
detection system, a relevant warning is dis-
played in the instrument cluster display.
●
In the event of joining a highway without
a speed limit, the recommended speed is au-
tomatically saved as the desired speed. If a
higher speed has previously been saved for a
motorway without a speed limit, this is used
instead of the recommended speed.
Troubleshooting
A message is displayed indicating that pre-
dictive speed adjustment is not currently
available or not available in your country.
●
If this message is displayed for a long time
and predictive speed adjustment is available in
your country, contact a specialised workshop.

tional information may be displayed in Vehi-

Emergency brake assis-
tance system (Front Assist)
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 cam-
era on the top of the windscreen and a radar
sensor on the front of the vehicle ›››page191.
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cient 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
firmly.
Depending on the equipment and the country,
Front Assist also includes the following func-
tions:
●
Pedestrian protection ›››page208
●
Cyclist protection ›››page208
●
Dodge assist ›››page208
●
Turn-o assist ›››page209
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.
