BC & Adaptive Cruise/Lane Centering

[Mirak]

I get the hands on the wheel warning sometimes when my hands are on the wheel! Must be my featherlight touch.

Oh yes, that's definitely an issue. It isn't a squeeze per se that fixes it, but torque resistance. You've gotta add some resistance. Sometimes resting a hand on the wheel just isn't enough. The hand nanny is too sensitive, in my opinion.

Nope, it is 9 and 3 (serious fyi)

Im more of a 12 or 6 person

I refuse to adapt, after learning 10 and 2. Let the NHTSA come after me...

Yeah, I think it is looking for some torque on the steering shaft, either resisting the car's movement, or adding a little of your own. I sometimes give a tiny little wiggle to the wheel to remind it I'm there. Squeezing probably doesn't do anything, I don't think it has any sensors in the wheel itself.

10 and 2 all day. Except for when it's no hands.

Of note - on the F-150L, the cameras are in the A pillar and the side of the big screen, so this is not an issue.

Proper driving technique is 10 and 2 ...

CMax owners on a forum where they don't own the vehicle don't have the right to call anyone "Boomer".

At least when I got one, I was proud enough to update my Vehicles list under my picture.

Yup, since airbags were a thing, it’s 9 and 3. At 10 and 2, if the airbag deploys you’re gonna have the insides of your arms scraped off for you like a cheese slicer went over them. At 12, it will probably blow your hand off the wheel, and you’ll probably break your wrist as it smacks into the ceiling.

Took me a long time to lose 10 and 2, but glad I finally broke the habit.
