Get Driver assist systems -> Lane keeping system (Lane Assist) Guide for Volkswagen ID.7 4 Door First Generation (2023-2025)

Introduction to the topic

Within the system limits, the lane keeping system(Lane Assist) helps the driver to stay in lane. The function is not

designed to keep the vehicle in lane automatically, nor is it suited to this purpose.

If your vehicle moves too close to a recognised road lane marking, Lane Assist will warn the driver with a corrective

steering intervention. The corrective steering intervention can be overridden by the driver at any time.

Speed range

When road lane markings can be detected, Lane Assist is ready to intervene at speeds above around 65 km/h(around

40 mph) within the system limits (system status active).

WARNING

Lane Assist cannot replace the driver’s attention and operates only within the limits of the system. Lane Assist

cannot detect all driving situations and may not react or may react with a delay or in an undesired way. If you do not

pay due attention, there is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.

● Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is always responsible for staying in

the lane.

● Observe the system limits (→ Lane keeping system (Lane Assist)).

● Adapt your speed and the distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.

● Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.

● Immediately override any undesired intervention by the system by steering.

● Observe the information on the instrument cluster display and respond according to the prompts, if permitted by

the traffic situation.

System limits of Lane Assist

Limits of the sensors

Lane Assist detects road lane markings by means of the camera behind the windscreen.

Observe the limits of the camera (→ Sensors). Always pay due attention and intervene yourself if

necessary.

Road lane marking that are not detected or not detected correctly

Lane Assist cannot recognise all road lane markings correctly. If road lane markings are not recognised or are

incorrectly recognised as such, this may mean that supporting control interventions do not take place or Lane Assist

may perform undesired control interventions. In addition to the situations specified in the section on the camera

limits, this can occur in the following situations, among others:

—If there are no road lane markings.

—If the driving style is very dynamic.

—When not driving on motorways or well-developed country roads.

—On poor roads, or if road structures or objects are present.

—If there are reflections or glare effects.

Always pay attention and intervene yourself and override an undesired system intervention immediately if necessary.

Switch off Lane Assist temporarily if necessary.

Lane Assist not ready to perform control interventions

Lane Assist is not ready to perform control interventions under the following conditions(passive system status):

— The vehicle speed is under around 60 km/h(approximately 35 mph).

—Lane Assist has not detected a road lane marking.

—If the lanes are too narrow and in tight bends.

—Temporarily if the driving style is very dynamic.

—If the driver oversteers a system intervention.

—If there is an intervention by the Autonomous Emergency Braking system(Front Assist).

Lane Assist is not ready to perform control interventions on at least one side in the following situations:

—If the turn signal is switched on in the direction of the planned lane change.

—On the inside of a bend that you are intentionally driving through well to the inside.

Driving with Lane Assist

Switching on and off

Depending on country, Lane Assist is always switched on when the ignition is switched on. In this case, the

Infotainment system shows an overview of individual automatically activated systems and functions in the entry

menu (→ Entry menu). You can switch off Lane Assist directly if required.

You can also switch Lane Assist on and off in the Infotainment system and view the current activation status there at

any time.

1. Open the Assist systems menu.

2. Switch Lane Assist on or off in the corresponding submenu.

If you switch Lane Assist off, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the instrument cluster, depending on

country.

If there is a system fault, Lane Assist can switch itself off

automatically.

Displays

Fig. 1 In the head-up display: Lane Assist displays

(illustration).

Grey line: road lane marking detected. The system is not ready to intervene on the side shown.

Yellow line: road lane marking detected. System is actively intervening on the indicated side.

White line: road lane marking detected. The system is ready to intervene on the side shown.

Additional details of any lane boundaries may also be shown, such as dashed road lane markings.

One of the following indicator lamps will light up in the instrument cluster depending on the driving situation:

System switched on, passive and not ready to perform control interventions.

System active and ready to intervene on at least one side.

System is actively intervening on the shown side(corrective steering intervention).

If Travel Assist is actively performing a control operation, there is no steering intervention and no display by

Lane Assist.

257

Driver intervention prompt

If there is no steering activity, a corresponding display is shown on the instrument cluster display and acoustic

warnings sound.

If you do not react to this, Emergency Assist will be activated, depending on the vehicle equipment.

Independently of the steering activity, a corresponding display is also shown on the instrument cluster display in

combination with acoustic warnings if a corrective steering intervention is performed for an extended time.

Steering wheel vibration

You can select the Steering wheel vibration option in the Assist systems menu of the Infotainment system. In this

case, the steering wheel will vibrate if the vehicle drives over a detected road lane marking when Lane Assist is active.

Troubleshooting

Lane Assist not available

The indicator lamp lights up yellow. A message will also appear on the instrument cluster display.

—The camera window is dirty. Clean the windscreen (→ Vehicle care).

—The view of the camera is impaired due to the weather conditions, e.g. snow, or due to detergent deposits or

coatings. Clean the windscreen (→ Vehicle care).

—The view of the camera is impaired by add-on parts or stickers. Keep the area around the camera window free

(→ Accessories and replacement parts).

—The camera has been displaced or damaged, e.g. due to damage to the windscreen. Check whether damage is

visible (→ Accessories and replacement parts).

—The camera was deactivated automatically due to a high ambient temperature or prolonged exposure to direct

sunlight. When the camera is available again, Lane Assist will also be available once more. Deactivate and

reactivate the vehicle’s drive system.

—Fault or malfunction. Deactivate and reactivate the vehicle’s drive system.

—If the problem persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen

dealership.

It can take a few seconds before a system fault is detected after the ignition is switched

on.

If Lane Assist is not available, Travel Assist is also not

available.

The system is not responding as expected

1. Do not attach any objects to the steering wheel.
