I have the new 2023 Taigo r line. The lane assist under urban road conditions can at times be dangerous. Three examples are :- 1. I was passing some cyclists so pulled out slightly from them but not over the central line. The lane assit took over and steared me back at the cyclist ! If the car had hit or killed one of them who would be responsible under the law me or Volkswagen ? 2. On a country road the tree growth was overgrown so I had to stear nearer the centeral line to aviod the branches. Without warning lane assist steared the car back into the branches. 3. I was passing a parked truck on a wide dock road, the lane was wide enough for two cars so as I approched the rear of the parked truck I pulled out near to but not over the centeral line. As I did this the lane assist turned the wheel back at the truck and I had to react quick to aviod a crash. There is no way of turning lane assist off by defult so you are at risk in these common driving conditions. All the other assist items on the car are fine it is just lane assist that is unsafe at times. Volkswagen please fix, in all other ways a brilliant car.
I have a Skoda Superb that has a very similar system. The first thing I have learnt is that you have to understand the limitations of the system. The example above is fine, but it should not be a surprise either. I use lane keeping all the time, but I do not take my hands off the steering wheel and ensure I concentrate. I would also say that lane keeping and adaptive cruise control has saved me more times than it has failed me - I have nodded off briefly for a couple of seconds while exhausted and that has saved me from hitting something. The system is there as an aid and is not meant as a fully functioning autopilot to let you go off and make a coffee! There are golden rules with all automated systems - if you are an Airbus pilot you would know 'Airbus Golden Rule No 4 - If things do not go as expected, you must intervene'. Seems very sensible advice to me.
@KINGLOW agreed, in comparison to for example Ford, the assisted steering is quite mild. You only have to gently countersteer to keep the car in line with what you want.
very helpful ! I come from mercedes and I am struggling to find how to do things on my VW. specially how to quickly switch from CC to speed limiter. On Mercedes each has a dedicated button. I need to find that button yuou showed on the video :D

Hi there. Really good video. Could you please specify how to deactivate the predictive function of the ACC??? I do not want the car to be reading signals and slowing me down all the time...the same with roundabouts and intersections...the predictive function slows me down in these situations
Thanks for the comment and support! Interesting. The reading speed signs thingy doesn't work on New Zealand VW cars. I'm not sure how to do that, unfortunately.
@@JerryPanandCars thanks, I change it. In Europe we have some other options under the ACC... It's true I didn't see those options in your video that is why I asked, thanks anyway
Hi Jerry! I recently purchased my T-Roc and frustratingly have not achieved much distance trying to understand the manual! However, since discovering your tutorial videos, I have gained a much better, clearer understanding and use of the driver assist features. Your explanations are excellent, detailed and easy to follow. My driving experience has certainly improved! Thanks for your videos they've been a tremendous help!
Hello Jerry, If I don't enable "keyless" on the "central locking" setting, does this mean I can use central locking as usual, remotely open/close press of a button, from key fob?
You have helped me massively ! I know this car has road sign recognition so I was wondering.. When the ACC is engaged, let’s say the road speed limit is at 70mph and changes 50, can the ACC system automatically adjust the top speed? Thank you so much for your help !
@@mdge How do you get it to do this? I have a 2023 polo and with speed sign changes it doesn't alter the ACC speed. Does the satnav need to be engaged?
@@FM-bn4bkme too. Set the auto pilot to 120km, travel on the motorway (speed limit is 100km),somehow my t roc loses the travel signs, and when reads the signs again drops the auto pilot to 100km…. ANNOYING. Does anyone know how to disable that?
hello Mr Jerry, I have a tiguan R line model 2021 (no SD card) I downloaded the gps map of North Africa, but I can't find any way to install it in my car, thank you for giving me your advice to resolve this problem
I ordered one last week, picking up next week, the issue with NZ, as i am also here on the 2023 model, on a fully loaded R-Line (not T-Roc R) you can’t get DCC or other features like using VW app to remote start the car, that other countries have…. But nice tutorial :)
@@JerryPanandCars do you know if you can show speed limits in the nz models? Not being able to use the VW app is a bummer but the troc price in nz is good compared to competition :0
The best and complete explanation I was looking for and only from you I've got!

Understood. Having to switch off every time is kind of annoying.
I believe that if you indicate when wishing to move over the lane assist will not be active.

You can "override" lane assist by just "actively" steering. A push of the blinker would also help.

My old car yoused to have Steering wheel vibration function. You would get to 65mph & it would vibrate, no need to activate driver assist.
Has it been checked?
