Help! My Audi RS Q3 Lane Assist is Broken


Where is the Lane Assist button?

We love reader questions, and an Audi RS Q3 owner recently wrote in asking us to help him with his quandary.

When motoring down the highway, Ed says his errant Audi’s lane control system isn’t working. We take our relationship with cars seriously so if course we whizzed around to Audi to grab an RS Q3 for a week to check it out.

We know all new Audi models have this marvel of modern science.

Where is Lane Control ON/OFF?

The first place to look is the centre console, steering wheel, and dashboard. If no button marked with lane lines can be found, take a stab at the ends of the control stalks. They’re a great place to stash easily accessible buttons.

Audi RSQ3 has it where it is in most Audi models, on the end of the indicator stalk. It allows drivers to deactivate the system quickly, as tasty bends brings themselves into view. Having lane systems active when navigating tight bends can be disaster waiting to happen. I once had a Kia Carnival try to kill me. It wasn’t the car’s fault as I should have turned off lane departure. If you don’t, the car thinks you’re out of control, activating the emergency system in response. The problem is that as it yanks on the steering wheel, the driver yanks back. Eventually the system turns off, releasing the pressure in an instant. The rubber-band effect sent the rear of the car hurtling ahead of the front, Scandi Flick-style.

Some brands have the driver assist and safety features in the menu system, so before pulling your hair our, read the user guide. Ed, turn the system on, and enjoy!

Now we have the RS Q3, we’ll give it a thorough once-over so watch for the upcoming review, and more reader questions answered.
