Get Driver assist systems -> Lane Assist Guide for Volkswagen Touran 4 Door Third Generation (2022-2025)

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 Keeping System (Lane Assist)).

● 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

Limits of the sensor system

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

Observe the limits of the camera (→ 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 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.

—The Electronic Stability Control (ESC

) is switched off orESC Sport is active.

— The vehicle speed is below approx. 60 km/h(approx. 35 mph) or above approx. 215 km/h (approx. 135 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 driver oversteers during a system intervention.

—During an intervention by Autonomous Emergency Braking(Front Assist).

If there is no steering activity, an indicator in the instrument cluster display will be displayed and audible warnings

will sound.

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

the system has detected.
