Re: Lane Assist - 2017 Mondeo

Thanks. I think the software update did something. Because I now notice that the green lines appear when am maybe over 60km/h. They seemed to activate at lower speeds before. So maybe there was a fault? Is there a minimum speed limit for the lane detection?
Also, there's two modes. Alert, and Alert and Aid. Mine keeps switching back to Alert, which is the vibration. I set it back to Alert and Aid, and maybe 1 out of 5 times, I feel it pull me back off the line. When I test drove an Everest, it was WAY better. Lane assist would bounce you between the lane lines if you left your hands off the wheel. (I know, I know.. always keep your hands on... I was testing it). In fact, after a few bounces, it would alert me to put my hands back on the wheel.
Clearly the newer model Mondeo doesn't have as good a system, which is disappointing. Because I was betweem a VW Golf, Passat or the Mondeo. They had equal features, but the Mondeo looked nicer so I went with that. I'm regretting, as it seems to state it has features, which are not quite as good as they seem.
