Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist) - Skoda SUPERB Owner's Manual

Function

Read and observe on page 157 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change
in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶
The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶
Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶
The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶
System deactivation in Infotainment
▶
Deactivating the TCS» page 130.
▶
Selecting the driving mode Sport
Provided that the driving mode Sportis not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the
danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.
Note
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning function
for the front passenger seat is switched off.

Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist)


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Activation / deactivation
Malfunctions
The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.
WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
■
systems » page 128, in section Introduction.
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
■
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
■
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
