Driving
Limitations
This s
y
stem does not react to objects that
cross transversely or to animals. The basic
limitations of the Front Assist must also be
taken into account

Turn assist
Turn assist can avoid a collision with a vehicle
approaching in the oppo
site direction, by
braking the vehicle itself when the intention
is to turn.
This system is active up to 15 km/h (9 mph).
Limitations
The turn-off assist function is available if you
have indicated your intention to turn by acti-
vating the turn signal, you have turned the
steering wheel and the turning path has star-
ted.
It only reacts to vehicles that are in the path
of the vehicle (not to animals, people, etc.).
The basic limitations of the Front Assist must
also be taken into account

System limitations
Fig. 154 On the instrument panel display: initial
system self-calibration indication.
Front Assist has certain limitations inherent
t
o the s
ystem. Thus, in certain circumstan-
ces, some of the reactions may be inappro-
priate 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:
●
In the first few instants of driving after
switching on the ignition, due to the system’s
initial auto-calibration. During this phase, the
instrument panel screen will display the fol-
lowing indication
