Lane Keeping Assist System

[Mr Onion]

OK I give up. I've read the manual, hit every button (both real and virtual) on the dash, and can I find how to disable it?

Can I *insert swear word here*

Go on, what am I missing?

...It's the icon with a steering wheel in between two slanted lines, right hand side of the steering.

It defaults to off when you switch off the car anyway so you would have to enable it each time you start the car.

Unless you don't mean LKAS at all?

The following applies for MY24 (for older models see Kremmen's step-by-step instructions):

* press the Home button on the steering wheel
* use the scroll wheel and scroll to "Safety Support"
* press the scroll wheel to select Safety Support
* scroll down until you get to the RDMS icon  (the car leaving the lane on the right)
* press the scroll wheel
* select the setting you want

Please keep in mind that this has to be repeated after every power-up (EU regulations).
(also see the manual p158)

I also wonder if Mr. Onion really has a problem with LKAS. That's very simpel, as shufty already mentioned.

The icon with a steering wheel in between two slanted lines, right hand side of the steering wheel.

Probably Mr Onion has a problem with RDMS and is confusing it with LKAS. RDMS can be disabled as coldstart described.

Maybe I don't. The warning that tells you when you are 'leaving your lane' with a dashboard icon and steering wheel loading. I think its the RDMS as others have mentioned (too many acronyms for me)

What a palava, but thanks. I'll try it next time we are out.

[coldstart]

I've missed that one, thank you Jazzik!

Of course: The LKAS has to be activatet manually - so, if you have a problem with this assistant, then simply don't use it 

The RDMS is the "nanny" thing that interferes with your driving but it can be deactivated (as explained above).

It's actually easier to do than to describe

Still don't know the point of it, if you drive correctly and have passed your driving test.

RDMS off , with each step images .....

Note: I think newer Jazz models don't have that P button so is performed via the touchscreen instead which must be a backward step ?

[Mr Onion]

Thanks Kremmen. I'll try to remember it all (though I expect I'll keep on coming back for a refresher course)

... although why it can not be a one button (even if virtual) on/off like the stability assist I have no idea.

Don’t agree, it is now far easier to disable RDMS on the later Mk4 models, as everything can now be done from the LH steering wheel control, and viewed on the instrument panel, without having to search around for a button down by your knee.

Mine does not have the same settings that are shown in the video. There is no option for warning only(I wish it did).

I agree regarding what is the point of it, especially when it can have a mind of its own, but at least we can switch it off, even if it is a nucense to do it on every start up.

Kremmen's recommendations on how to disable the RDMS has changed my life. Bit fiddly at first but I can now do it in my sleep.

[Kremmen]

Same here

On the occasions I forget to do it I can quite happily turn it off while driving
