Skoda’s Lane Assist comes in two varieties - one that corrects when you get to the lane boundary, and the ‘adaptive’ version that keeps you in the middle* of the lane. I have Lane Assist turned on all the time in the assist menu… but the adaptive version only kicks in when I turn on travel assist (the lines on the symbol in the dash go from white to orange).

 

I'm on my second Kodiaq now and this time I did go for the Travel Assist.  I actually use it virtually all the. time, even around the streets and find it quite helpful.  (Much to my surprise as I thought I wouldn't but there you go).

 

Never had the "Orange" lines.  It's either white lines when it hasn't found the lane markings, or green when it has.

 

Car is a year old.

Yeah... it was orange in my first bear. My bad.

 

But it's still two different types - there's normal lane assist that's active when you don't press the 'travel assist' button (lane assist and cruise control are separate icons in the display), and then adaptive lane assist that kicks in when you press the 'travel assist' button (icons merge into one).

Does your Travel assist / Lane Assist work at low / street lit area speeds?

Yes.  I think the limit is around 15mph or something like that

Lane Assist is only active at speeds > 40mph, according to the manual (same speed that activates the high-beam on the matrix lights too, fwiw).

 

Travel Assist is only available with the ACC set - so that's a minimum 20mph... although the lane keeping element does stay active all the way down to stopped as traffic jam assist is all part of the same system (edit: that's with the ACC stopping/starting with the traffic, of course - you just can't set the ACC speed to anything less than 20mph).

Sounds about right.  It was the travel assist I was talking about.

It is worth noting that not all of those are relevant to the Kodiaq. The versions of Lane Assist fitted to the Kodiaq are all able to affect steering input, seemingly one of the main requisites of the legislation.

 

The reality is, even though we're no longer in the EU, we'll still likely benefit, or suffer from (whichever side of the fence you're on) from EU legislation on our imported vehicles for quite some time yet. The now standard Lane Assist being an example, and additionally the more recent need to now turn it off after each cycle of the ignition.

 

UK led legislation has had it's successes over the years, dim-dip headlights were a good one (in my opinion) especially when you consider where we are currently with DRL's without tail lights. I'm sure there are more examples too.

 

As you say, interesting times ahead!

Funny enough, my "Sunday car" has dim-dip!

However, simply "importing" cars built to EU legislation might not be straightforward.  Another of the regulations in the EU's "General Safety Regulation 2" is Intelligent Speed Assist.  The UK was heavily involved at the start, but we left before the regulations were finalised and one of the things the manufacturer has to ensure, is that the system can recognise any of the signs from a catalogue of signs collected from around all EU Member States.  The UK's signs are, of course, missing from that catalogue.  I think we'll start to see small divergences like that, which will gradually make it harder to simply piggyback off the EU regs.
