Hi, this is my first post so hope it makes sense.
I've only had my Mk 7 GTD for two weeks this coming Tuesday but have already had two instances where the front assist has "kicked in", resulting in disturbing sudden braking when unnecessary. In both instances I was travelling at low speed around a traffic light-controlled roundabout with HGV's on my inside and I wasn't in any danger of colliding with them (although in the second case the person behind nearly rear-ended me when the system pulled me up sharply!!).
I've started turning the system off using the aforementioned left stalk button / steering wheel OK button but was wondering if anyone knows of a way of permanently switching it off, as the above method re-sets the system to active again at each re-start. As a police-trained advanced driver I'd certainly prefer to be in TOTAL control of the vehicle without being compromised as I have done in my short time with the car to date.
ps - other than the above the car's a dream, as anyone with the same model will no doubt know!!
