Forward Radar Systems
Front Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking
The purpose of the Front Assist system is to avoid rear-end collisions. It uses a front radar and front camera (depending on
equipment) to detect vehicles ahead and alert the driver to any critical situations.
The Distance Warning function of Front Assist is the same as described earlier in this SSP, however, the Advance Warning for
Front Assist adds the following:
• Advance Warning with Autonomous Emergency Braking
• City Emergency Braking
• Braking Support

Front Assist Functions
The ACC and Front Assist functions are integrated into the same control module. However, they operate independently of each
other. Front Assist is active even when ACC is deactivated.
Advance Warning
If the vehicle is traveling between 18- 130 mph (29-210 km/h) the system warns the driver with a warning chime and a message in
the instrument cluster display of the system detects a possible collision ahead.
Intermediate Warning
If the driver fails to respond to the Advance Warning between approximately 80- 100 mph (130- 160 km/h), Front Assist can initiate
a short active braking maneuver. This appears as a brake "jerk" to warn the driver of an impending collision.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
If the driver fails to react to the Intermediate Warning between 3- 100 mph (5- 160 km/h), Front Assist can initiate a braking
maneuver that applies continuous elevated braking force. This occurs shortly before a collision and is designed to reduce
vehicle speed and to reduce the effects of a collision.
Autonomous Emergency Braking Below 18 mph
If there is an impending collision between 3- 18 mph (5-30 km/h), Front Assist can initiate an automatic braking maneuver
without the distance, advance or intermediate warnings to reduce vehicle speed and help to minimize the effects of a collision.
