2020 CX-5 Touring AWD - Set to Sensitivity-High, Vibration-High / Audible Off
In normal driving without testing I noticed in early ownership I was getting consistent vibration on shoulder white line detection but nothing on yellow line detection except once. So I just went out and tested this on two-lane black tops.
One road was freshly paved and then striped just last week. I did a variety of tests crossing a variety of center yellow lines: double solid yellow, solid with broken yellow, and single broken yellow. Turning the corner I tested badly faded broken yellow. I kept the speed consistent around 50-55 mph. Of course I kept the turn signal off when crossing these lines.
The roads were perfectly dry, skies clear and sunny but not blinding. It was 5:00 PM, the sun getting lower in the sky, lots of trees lining these roads, so no harsh sun. In short, ideal driving conditions. The car is quite clean except for spotting on the rear window and bumper from a recent drive through rain.
There was no rhyme or reason to the system's behavior. Sometimes it did nothing. Sometimes I'd get the expected vibration but no detectable feeling of lane correction. Sometimes holding the wheel very lightly there would be no vibration but it would ease back into my lane. I could get one result with one particular line combination, drive a couple hundred feet, try again over the same line combination and get a different result.
Driving away from home the system seemed to activate one way or another less frequently than on the return trip.
Anybody else have a similar experience or an explantion?
