Troubleshooting
Please refer to
at the start of the chapter on
page 165.
Front Assist is not available, the radar sensor does
not have sufficient visibility.
— The radar sensor is dirty. Clean the radar sensor
→ page 348.
— The view of the radar sensor is impaired due to
the weather conditions, e.g. snow, or due to de-
tergent deposits or coatings. Clean the radar sen-
sor → page 348.
— The view of the radar sensor is impaired by add-
on parts, the trim frames of number plate holders
or stickers. Keep the area around the radar sensor
free.
— The radar sensor has been displaced or damaged,
e.g. due to damage to the front of the vehicle.
Check whether damage is visible → page 354.
— Paint work or structural modifications were car-
ried out on the front of the vehicle.
— The genuine Volkswagen badge is not used.
— If the problem persists, switch off Front Assist
and go to a qualified workshop.
Front Assist does not function as expected or is trig-
gered unnecessarily several times.
— The radar sensor is dirty. Clean the radar sensor
→ page 348.
— The system limits have been exceeded
→ page 167.
— If the problem persists, switch off Front Assist
and go to a qualified workshop.
Lane keeping system (Lane As-
sist)
Introduction to the topic
Within the system limits, the lane keeping sys-
tem (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.
Using a camera in the windscreen, the lane keeping
system detects road lane markings on the road. If
your vehicle moves too close to a recognised road
lane marking, the system will warn the driver with
a corrective steering intervention. The corrective
steering intervention can be overridden by the driver
at any time.
System limits
Use the lane keeping system only on motorways and
well-developed country roads.
The system is not available under the following con-
ditions (passive system status):
— The vehicle speed is under 55 km/h (approximate-
ly 30 mph).
— The lane keeping system has not detected a road
lane marking.
— In tight bends.
— Temporarily if the driving style is very dynamic.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the lane keep-
ing system cannot overcome physical limitations,
and functions only within the limits of the system.
Always take care when using the lane keeping sys-
tem otherwise you could cause accidents or inju-
ries. The system is not a substitute for the full con-
centration of the driver and their steering.
x
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehi-
cles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
x
Your hands should always be on the steering
wheel so that you can steer at any time. The
driver is always responsible for staying in the
lane.
x
The lane keeping system cannot recognise all
road lane markings. In certain circumstances,
the lane keeping system may detect poor road
surfaces, road structures or objects incorrectly
as road lane markings. Immediately override any
undesired intervention by the system.
x
Observe the information on the instrument
cluster display and respond according to the
prompts, if permitted by the traffic situation.
x
In the following situations undesired interven-
tion by the lane keeping system can occur or no
control assistance is provided by the lane keep-
ing system. This means that it is crucial that the
driver is attentive in these situations. It may be
necessary to switch off the lane keeping system
temporarily:
— Very sporty driving.
— In poor weather conditions and when driving
on poor roads.
— Driving through road works.
— Over hill tops or through dips.
