The Front Assist is a collision-alert safety system. Faced with an unavoidable collision, it applies the brakes to minimise the consequences. It also performs an emergency stop if a pedestrian dangerously attempts to cross the path of the car.

This feature coordinates the activities of the onboard systems to minimise emergency traffic situations. The system pre-tensions the front seat belts in the event of imminent collision or in unstable driving situations, such as severe over- or understeering, and also engages with the ESC to close the side windows almost fully in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the vehicle.

If a Scala is involved in an accident and the airbags are activated, it could remain in motion and cause another accident, which is where the Multi-Collision Brake comes in, bringing the vehicle to a standstill to prevent a pile-up.

Driver alert reduces the risk of a fatigue-induced emergency. By monitoring driver behaviour, the system assesses the degree of driver fatigue and, if necessary, warns of the need for a rest and break in the journey.

The lane assist recognizes an unintended departure from the lane, providing a visual message, and initiates corrective steering. It is activated at speeds above 65 km/h provided that there aree recognisable lane markings on the road surface and the turn signal has not been turned on.

When reverse gear is engaged, the camera in the tailgate is activated and the image is shown on the infotainment system display. The system shows the space behind the car and indicates the driving line, based on the vehicle width.
