Get Lane keeping system (Lane Assist) Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

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 road lane marking that Lane Assist has recognised, it will warn the driver with a corrective steering

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

Speed range

Within the limits of the system, Lane Assist is ready to perform control interventions (system status active) when road lane markings

are detected at speeds between around 65 km/h (approx. 40 mph) to around 215 km/h (around 135 mph).

WARNING

Lane Assist is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver 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.

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 Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is switched off.

—ESC Sport is active.

— The driving speed is less than around 60 km/h (around 35 mph) or more than around 215 km/h (around 135 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 Automatic 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.

Switching on and off

Depending on country, Lane Assist is always switched on when the ignition is switched on. You can also switch Lane Assist on and off

manually and view the current status.

Displays

On the instrument cluster display: Lane Assist displays.

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.

With some equipment levels, additional details about the road lane marking may also be shown on the instrument cluster display, e.g.

dashed lane markings.

With some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the head-up display

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.

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.

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. Switch off and restart the engine.

—Fault or malfunction. Switch off and restart the engine.

—If the problem persists, go to a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.

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.
