Assistant systems
209
Emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
Once the Front Assist has activated a critical
warning, if the driver intends to dodge the ob-
ject, the swerve assist will help correct the tra-
jectory. The driver must start and finish the ma-
noeuvre, 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 crossing
the path of the vehicle or to animals. The basic
limitations of Front Assist must also be taken
into account›››page209.
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 activat-
ing the turn signal, you have turned the steering
wheel and the turning path has started.
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209.
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 first few
instants of driving after switching on the
ignition, due to the system’s initial auto-cal-
ibration.
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 dis-
abled 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 firmly 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c
islands, cut-through roundabouts, etc.), Front
Assist may issue warnings and unnecessarily
intervene in braking.
