Travel Assist, part of the optional Plus Package, integrates several systems and functions, as presented separately on the following pages. When they are interconnected, the car can make driving a lot easier and increase travelling comfort. Once activated, Travel Assist can automatically stop and restart, keep the car in lane, overtake other vehicles, follow other vehicles in a traffic jam, or show the surrounding traffic on a display in front of you.

Lane Assist can tell when you stray from a lane unintentionally. This system works in conjunction with a camera to recognise lane markings on the road, including yellow lines during roadworks, traffic cones, and other roadside or lane borders. The enhanced “Adaptive” variant (only available as part of Travel Assist) means that the system intervenes in an attempt to keep the vehicle in the selected track within the traffic lane, and the car does not “weave”.

Traffic Jam Assist makes it easier to drive a car in traffic jams. It draws on the Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Lane Assist to start, brake and turn the car to copy the movement of surrounding vehicles in a traffic jam.

Emergency Assist reduces risk of an incident if the driver is not feeling well. If Adaptive Lane Assist detects that the driver does not have their hands on the steering wheel even after a warning alert, Emergency Assist is activated – it brings the car to a standstill while keeping it in lane and activating the hazard warning lights.
