The Automatic Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can detect imminent frontal collisions and issue corresponding warnings. The
system can also assist when braking and initiate automatic braking.
Front Assist can help to avoid accidents, but is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Front Assist functions only within the system limits. The warning times vary depending on the traffic situation and driver behaviour.
Functions
Front Assist includes the following additional functions depending on vehicle equipment and country:
—Pedestrian Monitoring.
—Cyclist Monitoring.
The listed functions are automatically active when Front Assist is switched on.
Detectable objects
Front Assist can detect the following objects depending on vehicle equipment and country:
—Vehicles.
—Bicycles and motorcycles.
— Pedestrians.
Driving with Front Assist
You can cancel the automatic braking interventions by steering or pressing the accelerator.
Automatic braking
Front Assist can decelerate the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will then not be held permanently. Depress the brake pedal!
The brake pedal will feel harder during an automatic braking operation.
WARNING
Front Assist is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. Front Assist
cannot detect all driving situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired way. If you do not pay due
attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.
● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.
● Observe the system limits (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)).
● Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
● You should consider cancelling the automatic interventions by Front Assist if necessary.
● If Front Assist issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately depending on the traffic situation or avoid the obstacle.
● If you are unsure about what systems your vehicle has depending on the vehicle equipment and country, please enquire at a
suitably qualified workshop before starting your journey. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
