At least then it is on their insurance........

Well, now I know it works. Someone braked hard in front of me last night and the red warning symbol (car rear plus chevron) immediately flashed up and warning sound given (although not very loud and did not over-ride the music). I braked myself, so can't confirm the effectiveness of the auto-brake function.

I have driven fairly close on both motorway (not quite so close) and main roads, to try and generate the icon but got nothing. I was expecting warnings before you get too close to hit, with the autobraking as the last resort by the car if you ignore the warnings. It is the only system in the car that does not tell you it is on (or off in some cases)

How do I know Front Assist is actually working, except for the tick against it in the menu? No indicator on the display, as with Lane Assist.

I have just taken delivery of my new Octavia VRS (TSI Hatch), which has Front assist fitted. Ordered in September before they withdrew the option. Thing is although the menu says it is active, there does not seem to be any indication of it working. Driving in local traffic and on the motorway there was no message or warning that there were cars ahead. Does anyone know how this works?

Hi Everyone. Just took delivery of my new Octavia TSI VRS Hatch. In black with the black trim package it looks great.
