Lane Change Assist - 2024 week 3 build date

[lohr500]

I'm sure I saw some reference to it in the online brochure (October 2023) when we were about to place our order.
But it wasn't fitted to our 2024 build Ocean.
Based on previous experience with the same system fitted to a Subaru Levorg and a Skoda Superb I owned, I can't say I miss it.
It was fine on motorways/dual carriageways, but a PITA on country roads where I do most of my driving. Always kicking in when not required and quite off-putting.
Just like the Stop/Start disable button, it was another disable button to press before each journey.

I don't understand whether you paid for it or not; if yes then you should obviously get some compensation.

As to many owners finding it annoying, I don't think it's an accurate characterisation. Many owners (like me) find that it doesn't work as it should and that's where the annoyance is coming from. The system doesn't understand curves and tunnels. The camera's perceives them as a narrow road and places the centre of the road off to the right or left of where it actually is. To avoid the system "correcting" you, you need to get ahead of it and steer towards the inside of the curve. Who needs that stress?

There was no option to add it - with a costing - just an option to delete it (at no cost). I did not delete it - so expected it to have been fitted.

As it was not fitted - I consider it reasonable I get financial compensation.

500 seems about right?

I'll never know if I find it helpful/performs as it should or not I guess

I persnally have found it very handy on motorways and dual carriageways. It is simple to switch on and off via steering wheel controls - dead simple. As others have said it is useless on our small country lanes here in Norfolk. I particularly like Side Assist which seems to also warn of traffic when reversing out onto my narrow country road.

Thanks. It certainly sounds like a good idea to me. An oversight on my part is potentially bad news.
