Function limitations
Front Assist may not react or may react with a delay or with an unwanted response in the following situations:
—In tight bends.
—Driving in heavy rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.
—Driving in multi-storey car parks and tunnels.
—Driving on roads with embedded metal objects, e.g. railway tracks.
—Reversing.
—If ESC is regulating or faulty.
—If the radar sensor or camera window is dirty, covered or damaged.
—If several brake lights on the vehicle are defective.
—If there is a fault in several brake lights on a trailer with an electrical connection to the vehicle.
—If the vehicle accelerates hard or the accelerator is fully depressed.
—In complex driving situations, e.g. at traffic islands.
—In unclear traffic situations, e.g. vehicles ahead are braking heavily or turning off.
—When the sun is low in the sky, in darkness or with glare from oncoming vehicles.
—When driving into and out of tunnels.
—If there is a fault in Front Assist.
Switching off Front Assist
Front Assist is not suitable for use in the following situations due to the limitations of the system and must be
switched off →
:
—If the vehicle is utilised in a capacity beyond usage on public roads, e.g. offroad or racing tracks.
—If the vehicle is being towed or is loaded onto another vehicle.
—If add-on parts cover the radar sensor or camera.
—If the camera or the radar sensor is faulty.
—After external force on the radar sensor, e.g. after a rear-end collision.
—If the windscreen is damaged in the area of the camera window.
—In the event of multiple unwanted interventions.
WARNING
Failure to switch off Front Assist in the situations mentioned can cause accidents and serious injuries.
Pedestrian Monitoring
Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring can help to avoid accidents with pedestrians and cyclists or to mitigate the
consequences of an accident.
The system may give a warning when there is a risk of collision, prepare the vehicle for emergency braking, help to
brake the vehicle or perform an automatic brake intervention. In the event of an advance warning, the red warning
lamp lights up in the instrument cluster display.
When Front Assist is switched on and active, Pedestrian Monitoring is also active as an element of Front Assist.
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Pedestrian Monitoring cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only within
the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by Pedestrian Monitoring tempt you into taking
any risks when driving. The driver is always responsible for braking in time.
