Lane Keep Assist - Does it only work with solid white lines?

[Yelper85]

Hi all,

My 65 plate V65 is very sporadic regarding whether the Lane Keep Assist picks up the road markings to the point I'm wondering if it has to be solid white lines and nothing else will do.

When it does highlight the lines, they only stay on for a few seconds then go off, yet I'm assured by Volvo the system is working fine.

Also, when the line does go red (the few times I can keep it on that long), the feedback and force to counteract the issue isn't very forceful.

Anybody got experience for this age of LKA and had similar operation?

Any advise or info would be more than welcome.

On my XC40 I get warnings for broken white lines if I cross them without indicating.

Yeah I had an XC40 as a courtesy car and the LKA works much better.

Like you say, it picks up most lines, broken or not, yellow, red or white....

The steering force to pull you back in is also much more noticeable in the XC40, but personally I'd like it even stronger. It would be good if you could fully tune those kind of settings to each driver, like on a slide scale of 0-100% where 100% means you need arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger to overcome it rather than just say low, medium or 'high' given they are all relative to the driver.

My 2014 S60 picks up all lines dotted or solid but being this model I only get an audible alert

My 2012 XC60, just been out to local tip and tested the Lane departure, it worked or bleeped at all road line markings, solid and broken. But all I have is a bleep, nothing fancy but fortunately I do have an OFF button.

I swear mine is faulty, however two Volvo dealers have said it's working.

Then again, their classification of 'working' is basically that the computer says it's fine and there's no error logs.

I feel a trip to another dealer coming on . . .
