Assisted lane change in the Terramar Business

[Le Chef]

Hi all, I have a CUPRA Terramar Business. According to the spec sheet it’s equipped with “Lane Assist Plus” and “Travel Assist”. Nevertheless, when I activate Travel Assist I don’t get automatic lane changes — whereas I thought that should be possible.

I also tried using the built-in CUPRA navigation, but still no auto lane change. I’m referring to the system commonly called “assisted lane change”, like in this video:

.

Is there a way to activate it (or a setting I’m missing)?

Thanks in advance.

A couple of months ago I had a test-drive with a Terramar from my local Cupra dealer. As far as I can remember, it had an "Assisted Lane Change" setting that can be turned on/off, under the Smart Assistants/Travel Assist menu. With this setting is turned on and Travel Assist is active, it should initiate when you use the turn signals.

If yours doesn't have that setting, the only explanation would be that the spec sheet was incorrect.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a Travel Assist item along with what you already have in Smart Assistants.

Are you sure that you have Travel Assist function, like, you would have a capacitive steering wheel which is sensitive to your touch if you do ?

As I had seen in the configurator app, Cupra was offering driver assistance packages in three different sizes: M, L, XL. Assisted Lane Change feature was only available with XL, and L had Travel Assist without it. Maybe yours has only L, not XL. A lookup with your VIN *might* give us an idea about this, I say "might" because the feature descriptions in the PR list are not always very straightforward. If you can send me your VIN via a PM, I can take a look for you.

Cheers,

Thanks, that makes things clear.

Pretty sure this car got the L variant, not the XL.

Do you know if it is possible to update to XL throught the connected app? I haven’t got acces yet tot the app.

If Cupra was offering these features as dealer-activated software licenses aftersales, it would be so easy & wonderful. And I never understood why they don't. The only exception to this is the Full Link (Apple Carplay & Android Auto) activation licenses.

Anyway, a retrofitter who knows what they're doing could easily activate this for you, I believe. But it probably won't be cheap because of the SFD2 protection scheme in newer cars.

These are the only settings i got:View attachment 52281

Those three vertical dots on the car graphic reveal all the sub-settings for Lane Assist.

You're probably aware but you can also swipe to the left to get another screen of options shown by the two dots

i got exactely the same, on the menu on the tablet the settings are limited to "Lane Assist" and there is nothing related to "Travel Assist" on any other page / menu, but when pressing the button on the steeringwheel i can activate the "Travel Assist" - by default it was selected ACC. I have tested briefly this morning - it keeps the middle of the lane, breaks if you turn on the signal and it detects an intersection ahead, it ask you to keep the hands on the steeringwheel, it turns the car if there is a curve ahead, etc. - i didn't knew this feature. Thanks!!
