Default Quirks of my MY23.5

Hello, thought I would put these observations out there too see if anyone else experiences similar.

1. Although my lane keep assist is not on - it sometimes comes on (the green lights stay off) but my steering is affected, often on the same piece of road I regularly travel and interestingly enough there is no white line painted on this road

2. the adaptive cruise control, when driving down a hill its very on off and I cant tell if its engine braking or actual brakes being applied but its cyclical nature almost makes you motion sick

3. the air compressor for the air suspensions kicks in at random times - why Im not sure, am I losing pressure? slow leak? not sure but I do hear the whoosh from time to time.

Loving the car and getting ready for our first decent trip in August.

I would tell you I have slight, subtle episodes of your first example. At first, I wrote it off to me getting use to a new car tracking thru road ruts. I now believe HAL takes over for milliseconds……

As for #3, yes that is normal. It will usually adjust in the morning at start-up and will adjust to self-level as you load weight into it.

It will also adjust if you jack it up to change a tire. Leaving a door open seems to stop this from happening.

Not quite sure of your issue from the information provided, but there is Lane Keeping Assist, which you turn on with the steering wheel button, and Emergency Lane Assist, which I turn off every time I start the car, along with Emergency Braking, as I don’t like the wheel being steered in the opposite direction when I least expect it, nor my my brakes applied when they are not needed. That is found in SETTINGS>VEHICLE>DRIVER ASSISTANCE >COLLISION AVOIDANCE>EMERGENCY BRAKING/EMERGENCY LANE ASSIST.

I once experienced the emergency braking, unexpectedly in heavy rain. Traffic was slowing but I wasn't at all close to the car in front of me. Crazy powerful braking and I was glad nobody was behind me. I guarantee that almost any vehicle behind you would rear-end you when it activates. I can see why you would turn that off.

Sad part is that we have to prompt our way through settings every time we start up in order to disable emergency lane assist.....and I think that is total BS!!! We should be able to permanently turn it off at our discretion. Period.
