Does Volkswagen Front Assist Work? Test Emergency Braking.

Staying safe in your vehicle is of utmost importance, but as a driver, it’s also something you don’t want to have to think about. Many Volkswagen models for the 2016 model year come with a wide range of driver assistance systems designed to not only keep you safe, but to make driving easier too. One of those systems is Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, otherwise known as Front Assist. So how does Volkswagen Front Assist work to keep you safe?


Volkswagen’s Front Assist system is somewhat of a two-in-one technology. The Forward Collision Warning aspect of the technology is designed to alert you, with acoustic and visual warnings, when there is the potential for a front-end collision. A sensor in the front of the vehicle will monitor the roadway ahead to warn you if you are approaching a vehicle too quickly or if another critical situation with a forward-moving object is imminent.
If you receive these warnings, you’ll want to apply the brakes. But if you don’t apply the brakes, or don’t apply them with enough force, the Autonomous Emergency Braking technology can kick in. This will actually apply the brakes for you, slowing down the vehicle to either avoid the potential collision or minimize the damage that may occur.
Though you should always stay attentive while drive and brake adequately, just knowing how Volkswagen Front Assist works in your vehicle should be enough to provide you with peace of mind on the road.
