- CX-9 AWD GT Titanium/Sand
Hello,
I hope this is not a redundant topic, but I can't find answers to this anywere on the forum.
We just took delivery of '19 CX-9 GT last weekend. I was driving yesterday testing different features and I'm taken aback by how the lane keep assist works.. or maybe doesn't..
We had a '17 CRV before, and the lane assist there is very active, it corrects steering automatically as soon as you start getting to the edge of the lane, but still some distance away.
However, in the CX-9, I can get to the edge of the lane and it seems like I'm already driving on that edge before any kind of steering assist kicks in. And it doesn't really correct the steering to move back away from the lane edge, it just makes it harder to go over the lane (unless you turn the blinker on, of course). Heptic feedback works fine - vibration, or beeps, whatever I set it to seems to give you correct notifications, so that's not a problem, but the wheel correction is not as active as I'd expect it to be. As a comparison (not that I'd recommend anyone doing this), in the CRV you could let go of the wheel, and as long as there was no interruption in lane reading, the car would steer itself just fine and the driver behind you would not notice much difference between manual steering. I don't see that happening in CX-9. Seems like it starts getting over the line before it acts up with any steering corrections...
Is this normal? I have all the related settings on high, so the sensitivity is as high as it can be set.
Thanks
