Comfort drive Travel Assist

Introduction

Thanks to the comfort drive Travel

Assist, within the system limitations, the

vehicle can maintain a distance, which

has been preselected by the driver, to

the vehicle in front and hold the

preferred position within the lane

(adaptive lane guidance).

Does this vehicle have Travel Assist?

The vehicle has Travel Assist, if the

button on the multi-function steering wheel is available.

Speed range

Travel Assist operates in a speed range between around 30 km/h (approximately 20 mph) and around 210 km/h (approximately 130 mph). This range is expanded

to, from 0 km/h (0 mph) to around 250 km/h (approximately 155 mph), for the adaptive lane guidance. This speed range may vary depending on the country.

Travel Assist system limitations

Travel Assist detects driving situations using the same sensor technology as the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist).

Note the system limitations and information regarding ACC and Lane Assist. Always pay attention and intervene yourself if necessary!

Driving with Travel Assist

Travel Assist automatically regulates the speed and steers the vehicle. Within the system limitations, Travel Assist can also bring the vehicle to a halt behind a

stopping vehicle and drive on again.

You can override the Travel Assist regulation function at any time.

If you remove your hands from the steering wheel, the system will ask you to take over the steering wheel after a few seconds with a message in the instrument

cluster display and with audible warnings.

If you do not respond, the system warns you with a brief braking maneuver.

Travel Assist is then deactivated.

Alternatively, Emergency Assist is activated, depending on the vehicle equipment.

WARNING

Travel Assist is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Travel 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 control of the vehicle.

Note 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.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel so that you are prepared to steer at any time.

Take over steering immediately if a driver intervention prompt appears in the instrument cluster display or the deceleration by Travel Assist is not

sufﬁcient.

Apply the brakes if the vehicle continues to roll unintentionally, e.g. after a driver intervention prompt.

Semi-automatic vehicle control in a medical emergency (Emergency Assist)

Introduction

Emergency Assist can recognize driver

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.

Emergency Assist system limitations

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

Driving with Emergency Assist

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

Introduction.

Switching on and off

When the ignition is switched on, Emergency Assist is active under the following conditions:

The Lane Assist system and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) are switched on.

A gear is engaged for driving forward.

The system must detect lane markers on the left and right side of the vehicle.

If Lane Assist is not available, Emergency Assist is not available either.

Driver intervention request

Using warning chimes and brief braking maneuver, Emergency Assist prompts an inactive driver to take over control of driving. In addition, a message is shown in

the instrument cluster display.

System intervention

If you do not respond, the system can brake the vehicle and keep it in its lane. In the instrument cluster display, one of the following indicator lights comes on:

System is regulating.

You can stop the regulation function at any time by accelerating, braking or steering as appropriate for the trafﬁc situation.

205

Whenever Emergency Assist is actively controlling the vehicle, the emergency ﬂashers will switch on after a short delay to warn other road users.

If the remaining stopping distance is sufﬁcient, the vehicle slows down, if necessary, to a stop. The electronic parking brake then switches on automatically.

WARNING

Emergency Assist cannot detect all driving situations and may trigger in a way that is not desired. This could result in accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

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

Switch off the Lane Keeping System (Lane Assist).

Do not use the comfort drive Travel Assist.

Seek assistance from suitably qualiﬁed professionals and have the system checked. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized 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, it is active at speeds of approx. 15 km/h (approx. 9 mph) and above. 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.

Side Assist system limitations

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

Introduction.

Limits of the sensor system

Side Assist detects driving situations via the radar sensors in the rear area.

Note the limits of the radar sensors ⇒ Limits of the sensor system and always pay attention!

Functional limitations

In addition to the situations speciﬁed in the sensor system limitations, Side Assist may not correctly interpret the trafﬁc situation in the following situations, among

others:

When driving in the center of two lanes.

When lanes have different widths.

When certain types of equipment are on the side of the road, such as high or offset guard rails.

Restricted visibility

Sunlight may reduce the visibility of the visual display in the outside mirror.

Calibration

The radar sensors calibrate once, on the ﬁrst kilometer of a journey after the vehicle is delivered, and then again if the sensor technology has been repaired. The

range of the sensors may be limited during the calibration phase.
