The timing of the warning varies depending
on driver behaviour, vehicle speed and relative
speed between both.
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 indication on the
›››
instrument panel display Fig. 144.
The warning moment varies depending on the
traffic situation and driver behaviour. At the
same time, the vehicle will prepare for a possi-
›››
ble emergency braking page 197.
When Front Assist is connected, the indications
of other functions on the screen may be hidden.
Critical warning
If the driver fails to react to the advance warn-
ing, the system may actively intervene in the
brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn the
driver of the imminent danger of a collision.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the critical
warning, the system may initiate independent
emergency braking by progressively increasing
the braking in accordance with the criticality of
the situation.

If the driver, after the critical warning, starts
braking but the system detects that the brake
is not being applied with sufficient force, the
braking intensity will be increased.
WARNING
●
The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by reducing the speed and the
force of the impact.
●
When the Front Assist causes a braking, the
brake pedal is "harder".
●
Automatic interventions by the Front Assist
on the brakes may be interrupted by pressing
the clutch, accelerator or moving the wheel.
●
The Front Assist may brake the vehicle until
it stops completely. However, the brake sys-
tem does not halt the vehicle permanently.
Use the foot brake!
System limitations

indication of the system's initial self-calibration.
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:
●
In the first few instants of driving after switch-
ing on the ignition, due to the system's initial
auto-calibration. During this period, a status

icon Fig. 145 is displayed.
