Firstly, I just want to check to make sure I understand this correctly, because my car doesn't seem to be reacting as I expected.
Lane CENTERING - Available only when adaptive cruise control is on. Lane markings on screen turn green. Car will actively follow the lane. Really cool.
Lane KEEPING - Active all the time (above 40mph per the manual). Lane markings turn white on the screen. Car will push you back into the lane if you drift. Ping Pong effect.
I'm asking because my Lane KEEPING seems to be a POS. Lane markings are turning white, but i can easily drift out of a lane. Up to the point where i feel unsafe and have to bring my car back in manually. I see the offending lane marking turn yellow. But i do not feel a vibration in the wheel, and I feel no noticeable torque on the wheel. Are there supposed to be an audio alert as well?
I travel for work so i've driven a lot of rental cars, so sometimes i get my features mixed up (some cars beep, some don't, etc.). It seems weird to me that Lane CENTERING is one of the best cruise controls I've used, actually wowed me. It handles things like widening exit lanes and rainy seattle days, where other cars have suffered (autopilot, cough). However, the lane KEEPING which is doing a very similar function, is one of the worst features i've used.
