Adjustment due to a speed restriction being lifted.

Adjustment due to a roundabout

Adjustment due to an intersection.

Adjustment due to the road layout.

Adjustment due to the end of a traffic jam.

If the speed is adjusted due to a speed limit, the detected speed will be saved as a new desired speed. If the speed is adjusted due to the road layout, the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle will accelerate to the previously saved preferred speed afterwards.

Cornering speed notifications depend on the driving mode .

Adjusting the speed shown

The speed shown can only be adjusted when controlled due to speed restrictions.

- 1 km/h (1 mph): Press the button gently.

+ 10 km/h (5 mph): Press the button firmly or swipe it from the bottom to the top. Pressing for the first time changes to the next-largest tens digit (km/h) or fives digit (mph).

- 10 km/h (5 mph): Press the button firmly or swipe it from the top to the bottom. Pressing for the first time changes to the next-smallest tens digit (km/h) or fives digit (mph).

If you adjust the speed shown in the notification too far, the predictive cruise control will be canceled.

If a speed limit is detected, the predictive cruise control system will adjust the saved speed, even if the ACC is deactivated. However, it does not take control.

If a speed limit on a highway is lifted, the recommended speed will automatically be saved as the preferred speed. However, if a higher speed than the recommended speed was previously saved on a highway with no speed limit, this saved speed will be applied instead of the recommended speed.

Troubleshooting

A notification shows that the predictive speed limit control is currently unavailable or is not available in your country

  1. If the message is displayed over a longer period and predictive cruise control is available in your country, seek assistance from suitably qualified professionals. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Introduction

Front Assist can recognize impending forward collisions and warn the driver. In addition, the system can provide support when braking and initiate an automatic braking maneuver.

The Front Assist system can help to avoid accidents but cannot replace the driver's attention.

Front Assist works solely within the system limitations. Warning times vary depending on the Traffic Situation and the driving behavior.

Range of functions

Front Assist includes the following additional functions, depending on the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle equipment and the country:

  • Pedestrian Monitoring.

  • Cyclist Monitoring.

  • Emergency steering support.

  • Oncoming Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle braking when turning.

The functions named are automatically active if Front Assist is switched on.

Recognizable objects

Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) can recognize the following objects, depending on the vehicle equipment and the country:

  • Vehicles.

  • Bikes.

  •  Pedestrians.

Driving with Front Assist

You can cancel automatic braking interventions by moving the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal.

You can override automatic steering interventions by countersteering.

Automatic braking

Front Assist can brake the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle to a stop. The vehicle will not be held at a stop after that. Press the brake pedal.

The brake pedal feels more firm during an automatic braking maneuver.

WARNING

Front Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Front Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

  • Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for control of the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle.

  •  Observe the system limitations (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)) .

  • Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and traffic conditions.

  • Consider interrupting automatic Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) interventions if necessary.

  • When Front Assist warns you, brake the vehicle immediately or maneuver around the obstacle, depending on the driving situation.

  • If you are unsure which functions are included with your vehicle depending on the vehicle equipment and country, consult suitably qualified professionals before starting your journey. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
