Front Assist

Front Assist perimeter system recognizes critical situations using a radar sensor and helps to shorten the braking distance. In dangerous situations, the system warns the driver with visual and audible signals, as well as emergency braking.

Front Assist is an integral part of ACC distance adjustment, but works independently even when distance and speed adjustments are disabled. In close proximity situations, Front Assist operates in two stages: in the first stage, the assistance system warns the driver with acoustic and optical signals of the presence of vehicles that are suddenly slowing down or moving slowly, and therefore of the relative danger of a collision. In this case, the car is "prepared" for emergency braking. The pads are pressed against the brake discs without delaying the vehicle, and the responsiveness of the HBA system is increased. If the driver does not respond to the warning, in the second stage he is warned of the danger of a rear-end collision by briefly pressing the brake pedal once, and the response of the braking assistant is further increased. Then, when the driver brakes, all the braking power is immediately available.
