Emergency brake assistance
system (Front Assist)*
Introduction
The objective of the system is to prevent
head-on collisions against objects that may
be in the vehicl
e’s path or minimise the con-
sequences of such impacts.
The function is designed to avoid collisions
against:
●
Parked vehicles.
●
Vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists that are
travelling in the same l
ane and direction.
●
Pedestrians and cyclists who transversely
cross the vehicle path.
The Front Assist records the mentioned ob-
jects by means of a camera on the top of the
windscreen and a radar sensor on the front of
the vehicle.
Depending on several factors and how criti-
cal the situation is, the system operates in a
staggered manner.
First informing the driver, and if there is no or
insufficient reaction, then activating an au-
tonomous emergency braking or an evasive
manoeuvre as indicated by the conditions
that will be discussed in the following points.
