Assistant systems
emergency brake assistance system (Front Assist)
171
The system is active between approximately
30 km/h (20 mph) and 150 km/h (90 mph).
Limitations
This system does not react to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic limi-
tations of Front Assist should also be taken into
account
.
Turn assist
Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
approaching in the opposite direction, by brak-
ing the vehicle itself when the intention is to
turn.
This system is active
up to 15 km/h
(9 mph).
Limitations
The turn-off assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by acti-
vating the turn signal, you have turned the
steering wheel and the turning path has star-
ted.
It only reacts to vehicles that are in the path of
the vehicle (not to animals, people, etc.).
The basic limitations of the Front Assist must
also be taken into account

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. Notification of this phase will
be given by the following indication on the in-
strument cluster screen .
Unrecognised objects
•
Vehicles travelling outside the reach of the
sensors at close range from your own vehicle.
•
Vehicles that suddenly change to the lane on
which your vehicle is travelling.
•
Pedestrians that cannot be recognised be-
cause they are partially or totally hidden.
•
Objects such as walls, posts, fences, trees or
garage doors.
•
Loads and accessories of other vehicles that
protrude over the sides, backwards or over the
top.
•
Other vehicles crossing the vehicle’s path.
•
In the case of pedestrians or cyclists standing
or approaching in the opposite direction.
Operating limitations
In the following situations, the Front Assist may
work late or in an undesirable manner. The fol-
lowing icon is displayed on the instrument
cluster, along with the message
Front As-
sist with limitations
.
•
If the Front Assist or the front camera are
disabled or broken.
•
If the radar sensor or the front camera are
dirty or covered.
•
On taking tight bends or complex paths.
•
When pressing the accelerator firmly or at
full throttle.
