Who introduced this system?

• During long trips on monotonous roads, often the driver's concentration may decrease. Not surprisingly, many accidents are caused by cars that deviate from their lane. To find a solution to this problem, Volkswagen introduced new models in all their technology, "Lane Assist" or support system to keep the vehicle in his path, which helps to avoid this inconvenience.

How the system works ?

• With this management system, corrective actions are taken to help the driver if the car starts to get out of your lane and keep on track.

How fast is activated, and that is?

This modern system works when the car is traveling at speeds exceeding 65 kilometers per hour (km / h), through a camera mounted on top of the windshield, which detect lane markings in front of the vehicle.

If the car tends to deviate from its lane, Lane Assist takes corrective action. If such action is not enough to keep this, or the speed drops below 60 mph, then the Lane Assist lane assist warns the driver with a steering wheel vibration. Since then, depends on the driver to take corrective action.

Seeks to avoid these traffic accidents.

• The system is automatically disabled if the driver uses the turn indicators or decisive action and strong about the direction the vehicle is detected by the steering unit is also switched off if the driver does not make any movement on the address for a period time.
