WARNING
The Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) technology cannot overcome the laws
of physics and system-related limits. The driver is always responsible for braking in time. If
the Forward Collision Warning system issues a warning, immediately apply the brake to slow
the vehicle down or avoid the obstacle, depending on the traffic situation.
Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility condi-
tions.
The Forward Collision Warning system cannot prevent accidents and serious injuries on
its own.
The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings in certain com-
plex driving situations, for example, at traffic islands.
The Forward Collision Warning system can issue unnecessary warnings when its function
is impaired, for example, if the radar sensor is dirty or if the position of the radar sensor has
been changed.
The Forward Collision Warning system does not react to people, animals, or vehicles
crossing or approaching in the same lane.
Always be prepared to take full control of the vehicle at all times.
NOTICE
If you notice that the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) doesn't work properly or
the sensors are damaged, switch off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist)
immediately.
Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and
have the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) checked.
If the Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) initiates a braking maneuver, the hydraulic
braking system is under pressure. In this case the braking pedal will feel “harder” and the brake pedal
travel will be shorter.
Automatic braking maneuvers can be interrupted by depressing the gas pedal or moving the
steering wheel.
Deactivate the Forward Collision Warning system if it does not work as described in this chapter,
for example, if multiple unwanted warnings occur. Have the system checked by an authorized
Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Temporarily switch off the Forward Collision Warning system (Front
Assist) in the following situations
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The Forward Collision Warning system (Front Assist) should be switched off in the following situations
due to system limitations
⇒
:
If the vehicle is being towed.
If the vehicle is on a dynamometer test bed.
If the vehicle is not being driven on public roads, for example, off-road or on a track.
