I find the default LKA to be no problem on my SE LR. It's just a little nudge on the steering wheel and I can see it being useful in some circumstances.
Do you know which update I should ask for regarding LKA improvements? Got my BCM update for my unwanted window opening.It SHOULD only turn itself back on when you sit back down in the driver's seat, having got out, and then depress the brake.
Mine too.I've been monitoring it for a while now, and LKA seems to turn itself back on every time I put the car in park.
Same for me. Forced me back to a pothole I was avoiding. Car was serviced (and updated) a few weeks ago. Now the car 'remembers' the last front collision distance (I set it to 2 because 3 causes it to brake as you start to overtake) but I now have to turn ELK to Alert everytime I start the car. On narrow North Yorkshire roads I'm constantly fighting the steering wheel.Yes. I have had this issue numerous times, to the point I turn it off before driving.
Moved across the line to pass a parked car, tried pushing me into it.
Move into a central lane to turn right, pushed me back.
Moved to left side of narrow road as truck coming other way, nearly pushed me into its path.
It causes more dangerous situations than it will stop.
given that in the UK it's very common to go from a main road with clear markings to a narrow country lane with none, it's not trivial to turn off once moving as it's in a sub menu on the infotainment you have to scroll to find. If it was a simple one button press, either on the steering wheel or the home screen, then there would be far fewer complaints.LKA teaches you to drive accurately in your lane and signal when changing lanes. In country lanes and roads with poor or no markings then it should be turned off as it can interpret lines of leaves or road cracks etc as the lane marking.
Totally agree. The main problem for me was, living in Rural Lincolnshire, most of our roads are winding and assuming road is clear I frequently go over the white line. 'B' roads with centre line are worst. Anyway, it's permanently off now so no more screen scrolling for me ?The above post is perfectly reasonable, but...

Following issues with camera calibration, requiring 5 visits to main dealer over a period of 2 months, I now find LKA to be totally inconsistant.I'm convinced the system is not consistent from car to car, perhaps some calibration variance.
You mean 3 is the longest distance?Same for me. Forced me back to a pothole I was avoiding. Car was serviced (and updated) a few weeks ago.

That's the default, three bars. I did experience it as well but it happened with big trucks. So at first I thought it had something to do with 'size of the object'. It was gone later on when passing normal road cars. But I might have set it to two....3 bars equates to about 2.7 secs or so following distance. (In my unscientific testing each bar equates to about 0.9s).
