Introduction to the topic
Please also note the safety-relevant information
regarding ACC.
Pre-speed control adapts the speed to the detected speed
limitations and the road layout, e.g. e.g. curves, junctions,
roundabouts, etc.
Limitations of anticipatory speed

Pre-speed regulation is an additional function of ACC and uses

WARNING
The intelligent technology of Front Assist cannot overcome the

Introduction to the topic
Never let the increased comfort provided by Front Assist
induce you to take any risk that compromises safety. The
Front As sist cannot prevent accidents or serious injuries by
itself. The driver is always responsible for all driving tasks.
The emergency braking assistant (Front Assist) can
detect a risk of collision at the front and warn about it. In
addition, the system can assist in braking and cause
automatic braking.
· Always adapt the speed and the safety distance with respect
to the preceding vehicle depending on the visibility, weather,
road and traffic conditions.
Front Assist can help prevent accidents, but it cannot replace
the driver's attention.
· Please note that Front Assist cannot detect all objects in
the entire speed range ÿ p. 194.
Front Assist only works within the limitations of the system. The
timing of the warning varies depending on the traffic situation
and the behavior of the driver.
· If Front Assist issues a warning, brake the vehicle immediately
or drive around the obstacle, depending on traffic conditions.

· Front Assist may intervene inopportunely, e.g. e.g., if its
functioning is impaired. Therefore, if necessary, consider
the possibility of interrupting the automatic interventions of
