Driver assist systems -> Swerve support for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Seventh Generation (2021-2025)

In unclear traffic situations, e.g. vehicles ahead are braking heavily or turning off.  
When the sun is low in the sky, in darkness or with glare from oncoming vehicles.  
When driving into and out of tunnels.  
If there is a fault in Front Assist.  
Switching off Front Assist  
Front Assist is not suitable for use in the following situations due to the limitations of the system and must be  
switched off  
:
If the vehicle is utilised in a capacity beyond usage on public roads, e.g. offroad or racing tracks.  
If the vehicle is being towed or is loaded onto another vehicle.  
If add-on parts cover the radar sensor or camera.  
If the camera or the radar sensor is faulty.  
If components in the area of the radar sensor are exposed to external force, e.g. after a rear-end collision.  
If the windscreen is damaged in the area of the camera window.  
In the event of multiple unwanted interventions.  
WARNING  
Failure to switch off Front Assist in the situations mentioned can cause accidents and serious injuries.  
Swerve support  
The swerve assist function can help to steer the vehicle around an obstacle in critical driving situations.  
If you steer to avoid an obstacle after an urgent warning, swerve assist can help you. Swerve support brakes  
individual wheels and corrects your steering wheel angle while you steer the vehicle.  
Speed range  
Swerve assist is available in a speed range from around 30 km/h(around 20 mph) up to 150 km/h (around 90 mph).  
Limits  
Swerve support does not react to crossing objects and animals. Always also observe the fundamental limits of Front  
Assist (→ Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist)).

Oncoming vehicle braking when turning  
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function can prevent the vehicle from colliding with an oncoming  
vehicle during a turn.  
If there is a risk of the vehicle colliding with an oncoming vehicle in the adjacent lane when turning, the oncoming  
vehicle braking when turning function can brake your vehicle. The vehicle can then remain in its own lane as a result.  
Speed range  
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function is available at speeds of up to approximately 15 km/h(around  
9 mph).  
Limits  
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function is available only if you have activated the turn signal and turned  
the steering wheel to start the turning manoeuvre. However, after changing from right-hand driving to left-hand  
driving or vice versa, the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function is only available after 30 minutes or more.  
The oncoming vehicle braking when turning function does not react to persons, animals, crossing vehicles or objects  
that are not detected as a vehicle. Always also observe the fundamental limits of Front Assist (→ Autonomous  
Emergency Braking (Front Assist)).
