Traffic Jam Assist

[Vexed]

Absolutly agree with you Enobar. After double checking my setting as per 2009fsi suggested, mine is behaving exactly the same as yours, has done since I picked it a month ago. My vehicle was built Jan 2017 and delivered here in April. Not sure on your build/year, but I think it's mid last year. Strange that both cars are running the same software 6+ months apart. Maybe this issue is only related to the 206 version.

Mine is 206.

Enobar & Vexed, are you guys running the same software/hardware as I am??

Here is My Jan 2016 Built 140TDI Wagon with Tech/Comfort Pack in traffic jam assist mode with ACC and Lane Assist active at 50kmh.

Well, it looks like Enobar and myself have a visit coming up at the dealer. Will be interesting to see what they have to say.
dec 76, are you running the same hardware (H50) and software (0836) ?????

This is interesting.
I would like to know the hardware and software version as well.

@dec76
Could you please let us know your situation?
situation 1. Did you drive along the freeway with ACC active (green) and line assist (green) set to 100km and then you've got traffic jam then you set ACC speed to 50km but the lane assist still green? or

Situation 2. Was this drive in the normal road on the right side of the two lanes? you just set ACC speed as 50km and line assist (green) as well.
note: because sometimes on the normal road, line assist doesn't detect the left side especially if you drive on the left next to the kerb.

or different situation??

I can turn on/activate ACC (green) less than 60km but the lane assist shows orange color. I normally drive on the left side next to the kerb.

edit: mine Aug 2016 build superb wagon 162tsi tech pack.

Have a watch of this one. Traffic and freeway. Notice the colour of the lines on the maxidot when on the freeway.
I just figured that the 2nd world lane markings around these parts were the cause of the system not working as expected.

It doesn't work with my car. As soon as it drops below 65km then the lane assist change to orange.

Edit: I am guessing the lines on the maxidot both appear orange because of no broken lane marking.
The beginning part is broken line but still active for the traffic jam to work.

I just service my car and explained but the lady wasn't helpful/no idea.

OK, I tried this in traffic, works well except for one thing. once ive completely stopped, I need to tap the throttle to get the car moving again. I thought it would take off once the gap opened up. but it appears I need to concentrate on driving

Does your car have the lane assist active under 65km/h so the car knows to keep within the lane? I called up Skoda and they seem to be clueless about the feature.
One of the tech from the dealer suggested that this feature is not available in Australia and the brochure is a misprint, but he is not 100% sure.

Ok, I've just received a call from Skoda. They've confirmed that it is a software issue regarding the "traffic jam assist" not working properly. The lane assist should be "green" under 65km/h if ACC is active. Apparently this is part of a "recall" campaign for my car (MY 17, DEC16). So I need to book in to a workshop for them to update the software for me.
I'll be taking it to the work shop in a week and a bit, will let you guys know how it goes.
I suggest if your "Traffic Jam Assist is not working" then contact your dealer to get the software fix.

Cyberkank, don't forget to take some pictures of the system version numbers before and after the fix.

Thanks for the tips. I'll remember to do that.
There's also another recall regarding something in the boot trim being non AUS compliance, so they have to fix that too.

TJA is not working if that is the case.

Did Skoda supply you with a recall notice for this. Mine and Enobar's is doing the same thing as yours?

Mine too! The green icon turns pesky yellow under 65kph.
