Lane assist vs Travel assist

Featured Replies

I have these 2 buttons on the steering wheel. I think the left one is Lane Assist and the right one is Travel Assist. I have not had the car long, but I think the Lane Assist does what it says in the manual.  However the Travel Assist doesn't seem to do anything and I am not sure from the manual how it differs from Lane Assist or whether it depends on Lane Assist in some way?

The left one lets you turn on/off assistance systems (e.g. lane assist, blind spot, etc), and the right one turns adaptive cruise control and lane assist at once, so it is useful if you are on the highway and you want to turn everything at once or if you are in a slow moving traffic (traffic jam assist). The right one is way more useful than the other buttons around it :D

I forgot to mention - in order for the travel assist to be able to resume the adaptive cruise control, first you need to turn it on by pulling the lever of the ACC towards you. (I can't edit the original comment any more 😦)

Yes, I realised the ACC needs to be active. The ACC is great, but I'm still not sure what the Travel Assist button does or how to get it to work!

Looks like a good excuse to get one of the Freedom packages! 😉

I too have been trying to work out what 'extra' travel assist gives you over predictive active cruise control. Pressing the travel assist button on my 71 Karoq makes the green lane control light on the dashboard to off and the central lane recognition display develops two orange lines. The only 'extra' I have noticed is that the steering automatically keeps you in lane. However, the system complains after about 10 seconds if there is no driver input even in a crawling traffic jam. I haven't been able to find much documentation about how the travel assist / traffic jam assist systems are  supposed to work. Does anybody know for definite what these systems should do?
