Get Travel Assist Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

Within the system limits, Travel Assist allows the vehicle to maintain a distance from the vehicle in front that has been preselected

by the driver and stay in the preferred position within the lane (adaptive lane guidance).

Does the vehicle have Travel Assist?

The vehicle is equipped with Travel Assist if you can select Travel Assist with the

button on the left-hand side of the multifunction

steering wheel.

Speed range

You can set a speed between 20 km/h (15 mph) and 210 km/h (130 mph). This speed range may differ depending on country.

System limits of Travel Assist

Travel Assist detects driving situations with the same sensors as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the lane keeping system (Lane

Assist).

Observe the system limits and information for ACC and Lane Assist. Always pay due attention and intervene yourself if

necessary.

Driving with Travel Assist

Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the system limits, Travel Assist can decelerate the vehicle

to a standstill behind a vehicle that is stopping. It can also start driving again by itself.

You can override control by Travel Assist at any time. Cruise control will be stopped if you brake. If you accelerate, Adaptive Cruise

Control is interrupted for the duration of the acceleration process; adaptive lane guidance remains active. This applies up to around

250 km/h (around 155 mph).

Displays

On the instrument cluster display: displays for active control

intervention (illustration).

Green line: adaptive lane guidance active.

Grey line: adaptive lane guidance passive.

With some equipment levels, additional details of any lane boundaries may also be displayed, such as dashed road lane markings and

road users driving in front.

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

Depending on the driving situation, one of the following indicator lamps lights up on the instrument cluster:

Travel Assist active, Adaptive Cruise Control and adaptive lane guidance active.

Travel Assist passive, Adaptive Cruise Control active, adaptive lane guidance passive.

Travel Assist deactivated, no regulation.

Driver intervention prompt

If you take your hands off the steering wheel, the system prompts you within a few seconds to take over active steering by way of

acoustic warnings and a display on the instrument cluster.

Travel Assist will be deactivated if you do not respond to the prompt.

Alternatively, Emergency Assist will be activated (with some equipment levels). Travel Assist will be deactivated if Emergency Assist is

not available.

WARNING

Travel Assist is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. Travel 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 all driving tasks.

● Observe the system limits of ACC (→ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)) and Lane Assist (→ 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.

● Take control of the vehicle immediately if requested to do so by a prompt on the instrument cluster display or if the speed

reduction by Travel Assist is not sufficient.

● Brake if the vehicle starts moving unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.
