Get Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist) Guide for Volkswagen Jetta 4 Door Seventh Generation (2019-2025)

Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist)

Introduction

Lane Assist helps the driver to stay in a

lane, within the system limitations. This

function is not suitable for, and not

designed for, autonomously keeping

your vehicle in a lane.

If the system detects that the vehicle is coming too close to a lane marker, Lane Assist warns the driver with corrective

steering. The driver can override the corrective steering at any time.

Speed range

Lane Assist is ready to take control (active system status) when a lane marking is detected within the system limits between

approx. 65 km/h (approx. 40 mph) and approx. 215 km/h (approx. 135 mph).

WARNING

Lane Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Lane Assist cannot

detect all driving situations and may not react, may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are

careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.

Always stay attentive and do not rely solely on the system. The driver is always responsible for keeping the vehicle

within the lane.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Lane Assist system limitations .

Always adapt your speed and distance to vehicles driving ahead based on the visual, weather, road, and trafﬁc

conditions.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Override immediately by steering if the system intervenes when it should not.

Pay attention to indicators in the instrument cluster display and respond to the prompts accordingly when the trafﬁc

situation allows.
