Here is a brief description of my experience with Lane Keep Assist on my 3.6 SE w/Technology:
If the system detects that you are in a lane and the vehicle drifts, the vehicle will automatically steer the car to keep it in the lane. If the system detects that you are in a lane and you attempt to steer the vehicle outside the lane without the turn signal on, you will feel resistance in the wheel as the vehicle attempts to stay in the lane but ultimately, your steering input will override the auto steer and this will briefly inactivate the lane keep assist until it detects you are in a lane again. The only sound warning is when the vehicle detects that you are not controlling the steering for a period of time, it will sound a warning and the display will tell you to take over steering.
With blind spot monitoring, if you attempt to steer the vehicle into a lane when it is indicating another vehicle is in your blind spot, the steering wheel will vibrate/shake rapidly as an additional warning to the blind spot indication in the mirror.
The system works great in my Atlas and I like it a lot. Hope this helps!

Ok, I am reviving this. I recoded the Atlas (via Vag) to adaptive lane assist. Meaning, it won't ping pong the vehicle from one side to another rather, it will keep it centered at all times. After doing this and doing a bit of a small road trip (up NJ Turnpike), I noticed that i can keep my hands off longer than the usual 10-15 seconds before getting the warning to put it back on. So far, I've gone about 5 minutes before I voluntarily held on the wheel again. I want to do more testing to confirm this wasn't a fluke but I tried it twice already. 1st was about 1 minute and 2nd 5 minutes. Anybody else has this experience? Here is a video on both instances. I've asked over at Vortex and no once can replicate what I am experiencing. I am actually not mad at it. Kinda getting that autonomous feel like the super cruise in Cadillac. So far, people have been putting a full bottle on the steering wheel to trick the system.

I am interested in this. What coding change is required to get the adaptive centering?
How do you get it to not warn you as quickly? Like I got the adaptive lane tracking on but I would love to not have the warning show up as quickly... any ideas?

I've never gotten more than 15-20 seconds. I sometimes get the warning even if I am holding the wheel lightly. I'm not sure what VW is sensing to determine you need to steer. My guess is if the wheel doesn't sense any steering input in X seconds it warms you to steer. If I'm on a dead straightaway and don't need to turn at all that's when I seem to get the warning. Personally I don't trust the LKA to be anything more than an assistant (hence the name "assist"). I've had it try to steer me along skid marks cutting across my lane and grooves in the pavement. This isn't anywhere close to self driving.

Hi, I just bought the 2021 atlas cross sport v6 SE W/ technology r-line.
I think the lane assist feature is on, but there is nothing that pulls me back into my lane if I drift out of it without a blinker on. Any tips on how to ensure it’s on or what I need to do to get that to work?
