The Front Assist system installed in Volkswagen vehicles, such as the Volkswagen Golf 8, consists of an electronic sensor installed inside the front grille of the car. Its task is to slow down the vehicle when a sudden obstacle is detected, so we are talking about passive safety.

That being said, let's see how to deactivate it: If we notice in the video uploaded here, on the instrument cluster display, scrolling through the Menu, the Front Assist option appears, which can be enabled and disabled by checking or unchecking the small box on the left side.
