Advance warning
If the syst em det
ects a possible collision with
the vehicle in front, it alerts the driver by
means of an audible warning and an indica-
tion on the instrument panel display
››› Fig. 155.
The warning moment varies depending on
the traffic situation and driver behaviour. At
the same time, the vehicle will prepare for a
possible emergency braking ››› .
Critical w arning
If the driv
er fails to react to the advance
warning, the system may actively intervene
in the brakes and generate a brief jolt to warn
the driver of the imminent danger of a colli-
sion.
Automatic braking
If the driver also fails to react to the critical
warning, the system may initiate independ-
ent emergency braking by progressively in-
creasing the braking in accordance with how
critical the situation is.
Driver emergency brake assistance sys-
tem
The system may detect that the driver is not
braking hard enough to avoid the collision. In
this case, it will increase the braking intensity. The system cannot prevent a collision, al-
though it can significantly minimise the con-
sequences by reducing the speed and the
f
orce of the impact. WARNING
Observe the safety warnings ››
› in Con-
tr ol and w
arning lamps on page 85. WARNING
Front Assist cannot change the laws of
physics or r epl
ace the driver in terms of
keeping control of the vehicle and reacting
to a possible emergency situation. WARNING
Following a Front Assist emergency warn-
ing, pay immediat e att
ention to the situa-
tion and try to avoid the collision as appli-
cable.

System limitations Fig. 156
On the instrument panel display: ini-
tial syst em self
-calibration indication. Front Assist has certain limitations inherent to
the syst
em. Thus, in cert
ain 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:

Radar sensors
The ACC uses the fr ont r
adar technology.
Read its maintenance instructions and infor-
mation about its limitations ››› page 211
. WARNING
The ACC’s technology cannot overcome
the syst em's inher
ent limitations or change
the laws of physics. If used negligently or
involuntarily, it may cause serious acci-
dents and injuries. The system is not a re-
placement for driver awareness.

Driving
You can cancel this regulation by changing
the set speed or by pr essing the accel
erator
pedal.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Overtaking
When the turn signal is switched on for over-
taking, the ACC reduces the distance from
the vehicle in front to help with the overtaking
manoeuvre. The set cruising speed will not be
exceeded.
The function works at speeds over 80 km/h
(50 mph). It may not be available in certain
countries.
Stop&Go function
Valid for: vehicles with an automatic gearbox
The ACC can bring the vehicle to a standstill
(0 km/h) if the vehicle in front stops.
The ACC remains active and the message
A C C r e a d y t o s t a r t is displayed on the in-
strument cluster for a few seconds. During
this time, the vehicle will move off again if the
vehicle in front moves forwards.
If the vehicle in front does not move off, the
vehicle can be kept at a standstill with the
status A C C r e a d y t o s t a r t by pressing the
brake. The system can only keep the car stopped
for a f
ew seconds. After this, the B r a k e warn-
ing will be displayed and an audio warning
will be played. Press the brake pedal. The ve-
hicle may start moving forward if you do not
do this Accident hazard!
The ACC is deactivated while stopped in the
following cases:
