Lane assist not working

[benk016]

There is zero vibration on mine. I would feel SOMETHING or else what’s the point. I have to assume my software is only half baked. Hopefully, the hour-long upgrade at the dealer will add the missing feature.

I haven't looked in this car, but on my last cars with lane departure warning, they had options, alert, aid, alert and aid, and then they had a intensity option on how hard it would vibrate the steering wheel.

From my years with this feature, it doesn't kick on a lot. Normally you'll see the lines on the display turn orange, at which point, it should be trying to move you away from the line. Then if you don't move back, it will turn red and start vibrating the wheel. And then it gives up and turns off and lets you do whatever you want.

It does. I mean no offense, but it would probably be wise to take some time to read the owners manual. Lots of good information in there.

I think it is time to visit your dealer or find someone with knowledge of the car to teach you some things about it in person.

When the lines turn green the car is tracking the lanes. If you swerve quickly out of your lane the car will not do anything as it knows you are purposely trying to. If the lines are grey the car is not tracking the lanes and will do nothing. To test the system be sure it is in aid or aid+alert mode and gradually let your car touch the lane line WHILE the line is green. The line should turn yellow in the instrument cluster and the car should gently steer back into the lane. This works best when it is a straight road.

The rain sensing wipers work if you put the wiper stalk to the right of the steering wheel into the first (intermittent) setting. There's a little "A" on the stalk to indicate auto. Then you adjust the intermittent setting to adjust how sensitive the rain sensing is. Make sure rain sensing is enabled in settings. It is on by default.

thank you! This is very helpful. RTFM not so much. I agree it would have been better to have spent more time with the salesman, but a) he didn’t. Know much, and b) he had covid, so I was anxious to get away from him. I really appreciate your patience with all this. I’m gonna stop worrying about it and wait for my dealer appointment.

On RTFM, I learned that it won’t activate if speed is under 40mph and if “direct steering“ is applied. i guess in order to really test it I have to take some sleeping pills and head onto the highway. In other words, I’ll just have to assume it’s working.

Hey Pony peeps:
I got my Mach e, and while I love the way it drives, I’m finding the software to be a challenge. the Lane Keep feature does not work. I drifted into another lane and nothing. No audible warning, no vibrating steering wheel and no pull-back. Has anyone else had this problem? thanks.

I have the same exact issue. I drive the 2021 Mach e Premium.
