Speed ranges
Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) provides maximum support within these speed ranges:
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:
The work area can therefore be limited if the vehicle approaches an object very quickly and thus has little time to react.
Furthermore, not all warning levels are passed through in all situations. Depending on the speed, there may not be, for example, an advance warning or immediate warning, but rather an automatic braking maneuver that occurs straight away, so as to best protect the detected object.
Distance warning
Front Assist detects if there is
a safety hazard from following the vehicle ahead too closely.
The indicator light turns on. Increase the distance.
Advance warning
Front Assist
detects a possible collision and prepares the vehicle for possible emergency
braking.
A warning tone sounds and the warning light turns on. Apply the brakes or maneuver to avoid the collision.
Immediate warning
If you do not respond to the advance warning, the brakes may be applied briefly to indicate the increasing risk of a collision. Apply the brakes or maneuver to avoid the collision.
Automatic braking
Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can brake the vehicle automatically in several stages of increasing braking force. Reducing the vehicle speed may help to reduce the damage resulting from a collision.
Braking support
If the system detects that you are not braking enough before an impending collision, Front Assist can increase the braking force and thus help to reduce the risk of a collision. The braking support is only active as long as you are firmly pressing the brake pedal.
Limits of the sensor system
Front Assist detects driving situations using a radar sensor in the front of the vehicle and the camera behind the windshield.
Note the limitations of the sensor system (→ Sensor system) . Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary!
After starting the vehicle
Front Assist
is not available or its availability is limited immediately after starting the
vehicle. During this time,
the white indicator light in the instrument cluster display comes on.
Unrecognizable objects
Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) may not react or may react with a delay to the following objects:
In addition, depending on the vehicle equipment and country, Autonomous Emergency Braking( Front Assist) may not react or may react with a delay to the following objects:
Functional limitations
In addition to the situations specified in the sensor system limitations, Front Assist may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired in the following situations, among others:
Switching off Front Assist
Depending on the system, Front Assist may not be suitable in the following
situations and must be switched off if
they occur →
:
WARNING
Using Front Assist in these situations may result in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
Swerve support
The swerve support can help to steer the vehicle around an obstacle in a critical driving situation.
If you steer to swerve around an obstacle after an urgent warning, the swerve support can help. Swerve support slows individual wheels and helps you by making a corrective steering intervention while you are steering.
Speed range
The swerve support is available in a speed range from approx. 30 km/h( approx. 20 mph) to a maximum of approx.
150 km/h (approx. 90 mph).
Limits
The swerve support does not respond to objects crossing the street. Also observe the system limitations of Front Assist (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)) .
Oncoming vehicle braking when turning can prevent the vehicle from colliding with an oncoming object when turning.
If there is a danger that the vehicle can collide with an oncoming vehicle in an adjacent lane when turning, the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function brakes your vehicle. This also applies to oncoming pedestrians and cyclists, depending on the vehicle equipment and country. This may prevent a collision.
Speed range
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function is available up to approx. 20 km/h( approx. 15 mph).
Limits
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function is only available if you activate the turn signal, have turned the steering wheel and have thereby started the turning maneuver. However, after switching from driving on the right to driving on the left or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function will only be available after some time.
Also observe the system limitations of Front Assist (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)) .
When you switch on the ignition, Front Assist with all of its equipment- and country-dependent functions is automatically switched on.
However, Front Assist is not
available or its availability is restricted while the white indicator light is
turned on.
Volkswagen recommends always leaving Front Assist and all of its equipment- and country-dependent functions switched on. Exceptions (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)) .
Switching on and off
If the vehicle is stationary, you can manually switch Autonomous Emergency Braking( Front Assist) on and off. You can also view the switched on condition.
In the Infotainment system:
If you
switch off Front Assist, all of its equipment- and country-dependent functions
are also switched off. The
yellow indicator light turns on in the instrument cluster display.
If Front Assist was automatically deactivated, e.g. if towing is detected, the yellow indicator light also comes on.
Setting Up Equipment- and Country-dependent Functions
If Front Assist is switched on, you can set the following settings in the assistance systems menu of the Infotainment system depending on the equipment and country:

Limits of the sensor system
Lane Assist detects lane markings with the camera behind the windshield.
Observe the limits of the camera (→ Sensor system) . Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary!
Lane markings not detected or not correctly recognized
Lane Assist does not correctly detect all lane markings. If lane markings are not detected or if markings are incorrectly detected as lane markings, Lane Assist may fail to intervene when it should or may intervene when not desired. In addition to the situations specified in the camera limitations, this may also occur in the following situations, among others:
Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary by overriding unwanted interventions by the system immediately. Temporarily switch off Lane Assist if required.
Lane Assist not ready to take control
Lane Assist is not ready to take control (system status inactive) under the following conditions:
Lane Assist is not ready to take control on at least one side in the following situations:
Switching on and off
