Can anyone confirm if their car has this? I'm aware this video was posted in 2007,however, I saw this mentioned as a feature in the S5 video review below. The Lane Assist feature is to alert the driver of an unwanted lane change that has three modes of diagnosis/detection coupled with three levels of steering wheel vibration alerts. Is this something that comes with the Driver Assist Package or is this a feature that is only available to Non-U.S. markets? The S5 being tested in the link below appears to be a U.S. spec car (orange reflectors at headlight corners), but it also has the Hill Hold Assist button - which I've never seen on any manual A5 or S5 in the U.S.

i'm not sure exactly, but this may be a new feature for the US for 2010. I don't remember this as an option for 2008 or 2009.

The prestige has it as an option in 2010.

Is this true if you opted for the Driver Assist Package in 2010? I'm only aware of the Side Assist feature (different from Lane Assist shown in the video above). If so, that's great news. The car I have on order now is Prestige and would be a welcome feature.

Lane assist is something something different. It vibrates the steering wheel if you depart from your lane without using the turn signal.

Correct. Is this feature part of the Driver Assist Package or is it available seperately? Lane Assist is shown in the above video around position 6:45.

no lane assist in MY2010 U.S. only driver assist.

Lane assist? Drive assist? Are they 2 diff things, or the same?

I've got it on my 2009 S5.

Actuation button on the inside of the car near the drivers-side mirror. Indicator lights are positioned just inside the 2 outside mirrors and glow/flash with varying intensity when a car is in my blind spot on either side.

that's for your blind spot. Lane assist is supposed to vibrate your steering wheel whenever you're changing lane in case if your eyes are off the road and you drive your car crossing other lanes. Infiniti has those and it's the most annoying things ever. Everytime you change lane, the steering wheel vibrate (only if the car able to see the marks on the road so forget about winter time).
