Well first of all: Don't need two hands, one will suffice.My only problem with lane-centering cruise is that the car constantly nags me to keep two hands on the wheel, despite the fact that my two hands are ALWAYS on the wheel. I have to constantly let go and re-grip. I know this issue will go away in Q3 but is there anything I can do now?
2nd: Don't need to let go and re-grip.
The car senses the torque you're putting on the wheel. The solution is simply to hold the wheel a little tighter.
The thing that keeps my car from bugging me about my hands is that I have to remember that it is a driver assistance system and you're still expected to steer. Thus just turning the wheel a little to keep it in the lane is enough to satisfy the sensor.
People often complain about the system suddenly taking a "sharp turn" seemingly out of the lane. After driving the car for a few thousand miles I think that is the torque sensor seeing if you've got your hands one the wheel. In the instances the car has done that on me simply stopping that turn reduced the torque the car was putting on the wheel pretty quickly.
