Like most vehicles today, the Volkswagen Arteon has driver assist features that take the stress out of driving. One of the driver assist features is the blind spot monitor. The blind spot monitor is also known as side assist. It tells you if it is safe for you to change lanes. If there is someone in your blind spot, then you will get a warning. Lane keeping assist is a feature that prevents you from unintentionally changing lanes. If you it senses that you have drifted, then it will provide you with a warning. It can also help you maneuver your vehicle back into the right lane.

Your headlamps are one of the most important things that you can use in order to safely drive at night. However, you have to make sure that you avoid letting them blind other drivers. High beam control, which is also known as light assist, will prevent that from happening.
