Lane Assist - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

The system is ready to intervene automatically in the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.

The vehicle moves at a speed of more than 30 km/h.

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 re-
duce the risk of serious injury.
›
The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
›
The windows in the side doors (if open) are automatically closed 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 driv-
ing. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in the
correct seated position.
The first level of protection can be deactivated by one of the following measures.

Deactivation of the system in Infotainment»
ment, chapter Setting vehicle systems (button CAR).

The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as in pan-
ic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.

Lane Assist

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
Explanations of situations
Information messages
WARNING
Lane Assist only operates as a support- it does absolve the driver of the re-
■
sponsibility to maintain full control over the vehicle's steering.
Lane Assist only makes the driver away that the vehicle is approaching the
■
line between two lanes by means of a steering intervention. The driver retains
responsibility at all times for keeping the vehicle within the lane.
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.
The camera need not be able to detect all lane lines. A steering intervention
■
can only be made when the vehicle approaches a detected line between
lanes.
Some objects on the road may be incorrectly detected as lines. As a result,
■
an incorrect steering intervention may take place.
The function of adaptive lane guidance Assist system may be restricted
■
when driving e.g. over rutted roads, on a slope, or if there are lateral winds.
Do not use the assist system in poor weather, e.g. black ice, fog, heavy rain –
■
risk of accident!

WARNING
The camera's powers of detection may be limited by a range of external influ-
ences. In this case, the Assist system may not be able to detect the line cor-
rectly, if at all. The camera's powers of detection may be limited, e.g. in the fol-
lowing:
in poor visibility conditions, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall;
■
when dazzled by the sun;
■
when dazzled by oncoming traffic;
■
by vehicles ahead;
■
when the camera viewing range is obstructed by an obstacle.
