Had an Octavia in 2016 which I specced to include lane assist. Replaced it with 2015 L&K which also has lane assist as standard. But on the L&K all the lane assist does is activate warning lights in the instrument cluster. It doesn't affect the steering like it did on my previous Octavia. Is there since option I need to select for it to control steering. Thanks

The short answer is yes.  Somewhere in the car settings there's the option for how the car reacts when a change of lane is detected.  I've had mine set to give just a very slight resistance when detecting lanes changes, but I'm sure there's some option, which when selected, will actively "twitch" the steering wheel in the correct direction to keep you in lane.

 

Note this feature only triggers if a lane drift or change is detected and you are not indicating in the appropriate direction at the same time.  If you indicate then the lane assist doesn't trigger as it assumes you are making an intended manoeuvre.

Thanks the only option I can find in the menus though is on or off. Can't find anything else

This from the manual.  "The strength of the steering movement can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment
» operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle systems
(CAR button)."

I've got this PDF manual but none of that text appears anywhere in it 

On the 1st page of this forum, 4th topic down > owners + workshop manual. On the 1st page there is a link to download the manual. Lane assist starts on page 146.

I've eventually figured it out. There's a line under lane assist option that says 'dynamic lane assist' or something like that. But it's just on or off - no variability option so I must have a different version of the mk3
