This isn’t easy to explain. In normal use, the activation of any controls on the steering wheel generates a pulse through the steering wheel with a quiet beep/noise. In my car on occasions I feel a succession of pulses/ beeps without any touching of controls. Any thoughts?

Are you veering towards/over the dotted lines in the middle of the road with ACC enabled? Sometimes this happens to me when the lanes get narrow - the steering wheel reacts with a pulse and a slight turn away from 'danger'. It feels like a successive number of pulses (like when you press a steering wheel control) strung together for a second.

It'll be lane assist with vibration mode on. I have mine turned off. I find it a useless system for anyone that pays attention to the road while driving. When you stray close to edges of lane lines, it will warn you, but anyone paying attention is doing so deliberately, e.g. to pass by a run of cars parked on the side of the road.

I turn mine off every trip, but has anyone yet found a way of turning it off permanently? As far as I am concerned its bloody dangerous!
