Introduction
●
Front Assist is a driving assistance function
that can never replace the driver’s attention.
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 ACC does not work as expected
●
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.
●
Make sure that the conditions are met for the
radar sensor to operate properly ››› page 134.
