Driver assistance
The lane departure warnings on this car are so frequent, sensitive, loud and intrusive that it becomes necessary to turn them off therefore negating the safety provided by such warnings. I'd much prefer to use the features but must turn them off. Frequency of warnings is not affected by seating position, head position, etc. Warnings occur inappropiately. Eyes correctly on the road and in proper driving position and the warnings still occur.
When the adaptive cruise control system is engaged while wearing prescription eyeglasses, either my regular clear lenses or prescription polarized sunglasses , a persistent audible and visual warning sounds approximately every two (2) minutes creating a distraction. The warning states "Keep your eyes on the road and drive safely. Driver assistance system is limited."
