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 above

approximately 60 km/h (approximately 35 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.

Lane Assist system limitations

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Introduction.

Limits of the sensor system

Lane Assist detects lane markings with the camera behind the windshield.

Observe the limits of the camera ⇒ Limits of the sensor system . Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary!

Lane markings not detected or not correctly recognized

Lane Assist does not correctly detect all lane markings. If lane markings are not detected or if markings are incorrectly

detected as lane markings, Lane Assist may fail to intervene when it should or may intervene when not desired. In addition to

268

the situations speciﬁed in the camera limitations, this may also occur in the following situations, among others:

If lane markings are not present.

When the driving style is very dynamic.

When not on highways or well-developed roads.

On poor road surfaces, road structures or objects.

In the event of reﬂections or dazzling effects.

Always be attentive and intervene yourself if necessary by overriding unwanted interventions by the system immediately.

Temporarily switch off Lane Assist if required.

Lane Assist not ready to take control

Lane Assist is not ready to take control (system status inactive) under the following conditions:

The vehicle speed is less than around 55 km/h (around 30 mph).

Lane Assist has not detected a lane marking.

If lanes and curves are too narrow.

Temporarily, when the driving style is very dynamic.

When the turn signals are switched on before a manual lane change.

When the driver oversteers during a system intervention.

When there is no reaction from the driver to a driver intervention prompt.

Driving with Lane Assist

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

Lane marking detected. The system is monitoring on the indicated side.

The system is not ready to monitor on the indicated side (equipment-dependent).

One of the following indicator lights may come on, depending on the driving situation and the instrument cluster version:

System active and ready to control.

System in operation (corrective

steering intervention). System in operation (corrective steering intervention).

If the indicator light does not light up, Lane Assist is not ready for operation on both sides (inactive system status) or is

switched off.

If Travel Assist is actively controlling, there will not be any steering intervention and no Lane Assist display.

Driver intervention request

If there is no steering activity, Lane Assist prompts you to drive in the center of your lane with an indicator in the instrument

cluster display and warning chimes.

If you do not respond accordingly, Lane Assist becomes inactive.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist) is activated

Independently of steering activity, you are also prompted by an indicator on the instrument cluster display and by a warning

chime to drive in the middle of the lane if the corrective steering intervention takes a long time.

Steering wheel vibration

The following situation may cause the steering wheel to vibrate:

A lane is no longer detected during a sharp corrective steering intervention by the system.

In addition, you can select the Vibration or Steering wheel vibration option in the Assistance systems menu in the Infotainmen

system. If you select this option, the steering wheel will vibrate if Lane Assist is active and you drift onto a road lane marking

270

that the system has detected.

Troubleshooting

inactivity and can automatically keep

the vehicle in its lane and, if necessary,

slow it down to a stop. The system can

hereby actively help to avoid an

accident or reduce the consequences of

an accident.

275

Emergency Assist system limitations

Emergency Assist detects driving situations using the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lan

Keeping System (Lane Assist).

WARNING

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

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. Emergency Assist also cannot always avoid accidents and serious injury by itself. 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 control of the

vehicle.

Observe the system limitations of ACC ⇒ ACC system limitations and Lane Assist ⇒ Lane Assist system

limitations.

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

conditions.

If the vehicle behaves unexpectedly, stop the intervention by Emergency Assist.

Driving with Emergency Assist

Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Lane Change System (Side Assist)

Introduction

The Lane Change System (Side Assist)

helps the driver to discern the traffic

situation behind the vehicle.

Radar sensors behind the rear bumper cover monitor the area behind the vehicle. The system measures the distance and

difference in speed to other vehicles and informs the driver through visual signals in the housing of the outside mirrors.

Only use Side Assist on secure roads.

Speed range

If Side Assist is switched on, this function is available from approx. 15 km/h (approx. 9 mph). Side Assist is deactivated at

speeds below approx. 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph).

WARNING

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

detect all driving situations and all objects in the surrounding environment, and may not provide warnings, may provide

warnings with a delay, or may provide warnings 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 control of the

vehicle and changing lanes.

Observe the system limitations ⇒ Side 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.

Pay attention to the displays in the outside mirror housings and in the instrument cluster display, and act

accordingly.
