Lane assist

[MikeyS]

Having just had my Car delivered, I have and will have no end of questions about the display etc, as the software is pretty incredible, but initially complicated to find a way round it.
First question is how can I turn the lane assist off. I can’t stand the thing, especially on B Roads.

Lane Change or Lane Keep?

Press the button on the underside of the lower left stalk to see a message / press and hold to disable (same on all Porsches).

On Cayenne EV - additionally you can swipe down from the top on the central display and you should also see an option to disable various items including Speed Limit warnings.

There are other ways to do the same including creating a personalised widget to add this stuff or programme one of the two diamond (joker) buttons on either the steering wheel or dashboard. Press and hold to see the menu option for function assignment.

Thank you WINGE, much appreciated.

Mike S, you read my mind! I was thinking of a similar thread!

On my Taycan, lane assist was a turn it off and it stayed off. I understand it's a legal requirement now for it to be reset every time the car starts.

Like you I hate the assist on B roads, makes the car even more dangerous!

I tend to use the screen option but my son is pretty quick and doing it as he sits in the passanger seat!

Mike S can I hijack your thread?

What widgets are people putting on the three screens?

Are people using the normal key or digital key?

I have to use normal key as I have tracker. Widgets are quite personal. I think I need to rearrange mine, initial play and test time period is now over. I found Ai widget quite useful. Swiping through the 3 screens can be distracting so would try to get one screen right.

Ah, good point, Id forgotten that the tracker needs the physical key and the fob.

That's a pain! I have Digital Key on my new iX3, and I love it. Was looking forward to using it on the Cayenne, but I too will have a tracker.

Fatal damage of my iPhone with eSIM recently, all I can say, physical keys are not so bad. Everything needs to verified/activated via SMS (even eSIM) - not really helpful as buying new phone just didn't do the trick.

The Digital Key still works for four hours after your battery dies.

Odd - should always default to 'On' - both my Taycans did - MY21 & MY23, not sure about J1.2 but doubt it. All of these EU mandatory aids (ADAS) most be active when ignition first switched on.

It does but not in case of fatal damage

I have a Vodafone tracker arranged by the dealer. I’ve just received a replacement fob as the battery in mine had an intermittent issue. You’ll see a earlier posts by myself and CHP regards forgetting the fob - the car will not allow selection of forward or reverse but very alarmingly will show a message saying something like system failure, arrange dealer !

 

[Weston]

My dealer it telling me that as long as I have the fob and either the key or the digital key then the tracker will work. I'll have to test it.

 

[CHP]

Yes, this should work.
