speed range of about 3–100 mph (5–160 km/h), Front Assist can
initiate an automatic braking maneuver that will abruptly decelerate
the vehicle with elevated braking force. The emergency braking
maneuver occurs shortly before a potential collision to reduce
vehicle speed and help to minimize the effects of a collision.
Autonomous Emergency Braking below 18 mph (30 km/h)
In case of an impending collision, within a speed range of about 3–
18 mph (5–30 km/h), Front Assist can initiate an automatic braking
maneuver without the distance, advance, or immediate warnings to
reduce vehicle speed and help to minimize the effects of a collision

The automatic braking maneuver occurs simultaneously with a
warning in the instrument cluster display → Fig. 160

Braking support
Front Assist can help to minimize the effects of a collision by
supporting with additional braking force in case of an emergency
braking situation, should the system detect that the force applied to
the brake pedal by the driver is not sufficient to avoid a collision. In
order for Front Assist to apply this support, it must have detected an
