Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)  
Introduction  
Front Assist can recognize impending  
forward collisions and warn the driver.  
In addition, the system can provide  
support when braking and initiate an  
automatic braking maneuver.  
The Front Assist system can help to avoid accidents but cannot replace the driver's attention.  
Front Assist works solely within the system limitations. Warning times vary depending on the Traffic Situation and the driving  
behavior.  
Range of functions  
Front Assist includes the following additional functions, depending on the vehicle equipment and the country:  
Pedestrian Monitoring.  
The functions named are automatically active if Front Assist is switched on.  
Recognizable objects  
Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can recognize the following objects, depending on the vehicle equipment and  
the country:  
Vehicles.  
224  
Bikes.  
Pedestrians.  
Driving with Front Assist  
You can cancel automatic braking interventions by moving the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal.  
Automatic braking  
Front Assist can brake the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle will not be held at a stop after that. Press the brake pedal.  
The brake pedal feels more firm during an automatic braking maneuver.  
WARNING  
Front Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Front Assist cannot  
detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are  
careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.  
Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the  
vehicle.  
Observe the system limitations ⇒ Front Assist system limitations.  
Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic  
conditions.  
Consider interrupting automatic Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) interventions if necessary.  
When Front Assist warns you, brake the vehicle immediately or maneuver around the obstacle, depending on the  
driving situation.  
If you are unsure which functions are included with your vehicle depending on the vehicle equipment and country,  
consult suitably qualified professionals before starting your journey. Volkswagen recommends contacting an  
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.  
Warning levels and braking support  
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒  
Introduction.  
Speed ranges  
Front Assist assists in these maximum speed ranges:  
Response to vehicles: Approx. 5 km/h (approx. 3 mph) to approx. 250 km/h (approx. 155 mph).  
Response to bikes: Approx. 5 km/h (approx. 3 mph) to approx. 250 km/h (approx. 155 mph).  
Response to pedestrians: Approx. 5 km/h (approx. 3 mph) to approx. 65 km/h (approx. 40 mph).  
The support system can involve an advance warning, an immediate warning, automatic braking or braking support. A distance  
warning may also be displayed.  
Influencing factors  
Whether and in which speed range Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) reacts to the named objects is dependent  
on the following factors:  
Type of object.  
Movement direction of the object.  
Speed of the object.
