Switching off Front Assist. the improved comfort provided by pedestrian monitoring system. Drivers are always respon- sible for braking in a timely manner. Front Assist is not suitable for use in the follow- ing situations due to the limitations of the sys- tem and must be switched off → – If the vehicle is utilised in a capacity beyond usage on public roads, e.g. off-road or on a race track. ● If pedestrian monitoring system issues a warning, brake your vehicle immediately de- pending on the traffic situation or avoid the pedestrian. – If the vehicle is being towed or is loaded onto another vehicle.
● Pedestrian monitoring system cannot inde- pendently prevent accidents and serious or fatal injuries. – If the radar sensor is covered by any auxiliary equipment, e.g. auxiliary headlights. ● Pedestrian monitoring system may provide unnecessary warnings and interventions in complex driving conditions, such as in a main road with branches. – If the radar sensor is faulty. – After external force on components in the area of the radar sensor, e.g. after a rear-end colli- sion. – In the event of multiple unwanted interven- tions.
● Pedestrian monitoring system may provide unnecessary warnings and interventions when its functionality is compromised, such as when the radar sensor is obstructed or positioned incorrectly. If you use Front Assist in the situations men- tioned, this can result in accidents and serious injuries or even death. WARNING ● Always be prepared to take control of the ve- hicle by yourself. Operating Front Assist Pedestrian monitoring system Please refer to at the start of the chapter on page 118. Please refer to at the start of the chapter on page 118. Front Assist and the advance warning are auto- matically switched on when you switch on the ignition.
Pedestrian monitoring system helps to avoid collisions with pedestrians crossing the path or reduce the consequences of collisions. / Depending on vehicle equipment, the indicator lamp lights up yellow or white if Front Assist is not available or only partially available. When the indicator lamp lights up white, the warning lamp may also illuminate at the same time . The pedestrian monitoring system can detect im- minent frontal collisions and issue corresponding warnings. The system can also assist when brak- ing and initiate automatic braking. When warning occurs, the warning lamp lights up in the instru- ment cluster display .
Volkswagen recommends that Front Assist and also the distance and advance warnings are switched on at all times. Exceptions → page 120. Switching on and off – Depending on vehicle equipment, you can switch Front Assist on and off manually on the display of the instrument cluster → page 24. When Front Assist is enabled, the pedestrian monitoring system, as a part of Front Assist, is activated within the vehicle speed range of ap- proximately 5 km/h to 65 km/h. WARNING / If Front Assist is switched off, the ad- vance and distance warning will be switched off simultaneously. The indicator lamp lights up yellow or white in the in- strument cluster display.
