Traffic Jam Assist

[dArK5HaD0w]

if anyone is interested - the skoda version of TJA...
i have an MY17 Superb. It has ACC (active gruise), Lane Assist with Adaptive Lane Guidance and Traffic Jam Assist (TJA).

i can use the car in the following combos:-
1. Lane Assist

• ACC = OFF
• LA = ON
• ALG = OFF

activates above 65 km/h. when i hit the lane, the car will vibrate and bounce back. it doesn't keep the car centred.


2. Lane Assist with Adaptive Lane Guidance

• ACC = OFF
• LA = ON
• ALG = ON

as above activates above 65 km/h, however this time it keeps the car in the centre of the lane markings. works on straight roads, and long curvey roads.
brilliant for motorways.
even with me holding the wheel, and i'm starting to move off centre, it will correct the steering and recentre the car.
i can drive totally handsfree, however, it only allows 12 secs of handsfree operation, after which it will display a message saying to take over the steering. if i don't, it will vibrate the steering. if i still don't, it will brake sharply for 1 sec. if i still don't, it switch on the hazard lights and come to complete stop within the lane.
the ALG also makes use of the blind-spot monitoring sensors.


3. Active Cruise Control Only, no Lane Assist

• ACC = ON
• LA = OFF
• ALG = OFF

as per normal cruise control, but in addition keeps the distance to the car infront of you.
it will NOT bring the car to a complete stop if the infront of u does.


4. Traffic Jam Assist

• ACC = ON
• LA = ON
• ALG = ON

as above for lane guidance, however this time it also works below 65 km/h, down to standstill.
as above for active cruise, however this time, will brake for u to a complete stop, and resume when the car infront starts moving. if the car has been stopped for more than 3 secs, a flick of the resume switch is all that is required.
brilliant for traffic jams or creeps.
combined with ACC, i can drive handsfree and legsfree.



i can't specifically turn on/off TJA. as long as the certain conditions are met, TJA is active.
there has been a recall on certain models to fix/correct TJA, via a Technical Bulletin.

My dealer informed me in an email a few days ago all MY18 Golfs in Australia will have TJA.

MY18 as in a week 21 built onwards?
