The c· emerg ency brake function gathers in for
ma ·on on the traffic situation up to a distance of
about 10 m in front of the vehicle with in a speed
ra ge of abo ut 5 km/h (3 mph) to 30 km /h
( 9 mph).

If the dr iver does not react to a possib le serious
collis ion, the s ystem can autom atically stop the ve

so as to reduce the s peed in a possib le co llision .
Hence the s ys tem can help min im ise the conse

A WARNING
The intelligent technology of the city emer
gency brake function cannot change the laws
of physics. The driver is always responsible
for braking in time.
• Adapt your speed and distance from the
Vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road
an d traffic conditions.
• The city emergency brake function cannot
Prevent accidents and serious injuries by itself '---" ----------------------------~
A WARNING (Continued)
• The city emergency brake function can
carry out unwanted brake interventions in
certain complex driving situations, e.g. at
traffic islands, building sites and metal
tracks.
• Front Assist can issue unnecessary warn
ings and carry out unwanted braking inter
ventions when its function is impaired, e .g . if
the position of the radar sensor has been
changed.
• While the vehicle is in motion, Front As
sist does not react to persons, animals and
vehicles crossing or approaching in the same
lane.
m The brake pedal travel decreases when the
~ city emergency brake function is triggered .
This
may make the brake pedal feel stiffer.
m Automatic brake intervention by the city
~ emergency brake fun ction can be stopped by
using the clutch , the accelerator or steering inter
vent ion.
m The city emergency brake function can brake
~ the vehicle to a standstill. The vehicle will not
be held permanently by the braking system. De
press the brake.
m Switch off Front Assist and the city emergen
~ cy brake functio n in the event of multiple un
wanted interventions . Proceed to a qualified work
shop . Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswa-
gen dealership for this purpose .
