Traffic Jam Assist
Traffic Jam Assist uses proven vehicle features such as ACC Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist to allow easy and slow driving in traffic jams.

Volkswagen Trailer Assist
Volkswagen have come up with a clever solution to assist in solving this problem… Trailer Assist! When needing to reverse a trailer with a boat or caravan attached, all the driver needs to do is put the vehicle into reverse, press the Park Assist button and use the mirror adjustment buttons to enter the direction in which the trailer needs to follow. The vehicle will now steer automatically with the trailer on the back, however the driver is still responsible for gear-shifting, acceleration and braking.
Volkswagen Park Assist (Automatic Parking)
Now standard equipment right across the new Tiguan range, Volkswagen’s Park Assist is a system that automatically parks your car, whether parallel parking or reverse 90 degree parking.
ŠKODA Driver Assistance
ŠKODA cars are safe and comfortable. Amongst other factors, this is thanks to an array of modern and intelligent driver assistance systems. But what functions are hidden behind terms such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist, Driver Alert fatigue detection and City Emergency Brake?
