Forward Radar Systems
Front Assist with Braking: Golf Family
When the risk of a collision is identified, the brake system is prefilled. The triggering threshold for the brake assist system is
lowered, and the driver is warned visually and acoustically. Additionally, an automatic jolt of the brakes warns the driver of the
danger.
If the driver reacts by braking too gently, the vehicle automatically generates the brake pressure required for the situation.
If the driver fails to react to the warning jolt at speeds above 18 mph (30 km/h), the Front Assist system decelerates the vehicle
up to 6 m/s
by braking automatically. This helps avoid a collision in the best case scenario or, at the very least, to reduce the

severity of the accident.
1 . Advance Warning
• Brake Assist system:
– Brakes are prefilled
– Brake Assist system threshold switchover to Level 1
– Visual and acoustic warning
2 . Main Warning
• Brake Assist system:
– Brake Assist system threshold switchover to Level 3
– Brake jolt
3 . Automatic Partial Braking
• Brake Assist system:
– Automatic deceleration if the driver fails to react
(up to 6 m/s
)
2
• Brake Assist system (less than or equal to 19 mph (30
km/h)):
– Automatic deceleration if the driver fails to react
(up to 8 m/s
)
