WARNING
Front Assist is a driving assistance func-
●
tion that can never replace the driver's at-
tention.
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 situa-
tion and try to avoid the collision where ap-
propriate.

vance warning indications.
Front Assist is active between 5 km/h (3 mph)
and 250 km/h (155 mph). Depending on dif-
ferent conditions (vehicle speed, speed and
type of object recognised, etc.), some of the
stages described below are omitted to opti-
mise the performance of the system.
Safety distance warning
If the system detects that you are driving too
close to the vehicle in front, it will warn the
driver with this indication on the instrument
panel display
The timing of the warning varies depending
on driver behaviour, vehicle speed and rela-
tive speed between both.
The safety distance warning is active be-
tween approx. 65 km/h (40 mph) and 250
km/h (155 mph).

Advance warning
If the system detects a possible collision with
the vehicle in front, it alerts the driver by
means of an audible warning and an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display
›››
Fig. 158.
The warning moment varies depending on
the traffic situation and driver behaviour. At
the same time, the vehicle will prepare for a
›››
possible emergency braking
duction on page 224.
When Front Assist is connected, the indica-
tions of other functions on the screen may be
hidden.
Critical warning
If the driver fails to react to the advance
warning, the system may actively intervene
in the brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn
the driver of the imminent danger of a colli-
sion.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the critical
warning, the system may initiate independ-
ent emergency braking by progressively in-
creasing the braking in accordance with the
criticality of the situation.
