Hi All,
Just a request for sharing of experiences - 1100 miles in and a few long journeys later, I'm still finding that I get nagged by autopilot to apply slight pressure to the steering wheel.... when I have my hands on the wheel. I'm finding it a bit annoying to be honest, I understand why it's there but given I'm a good, law abiding, driver that keeps at least one hand on the wheel, I'm feeling a bit hard done by getting told off all the time.
It actually ends up being less relaxing using autosteer than otherwise not doing - surely this wasn't the aim?
I've actually considered getting one of the (rather overpriced) wheel weights that can be found on various auction sites to substitute the fact that my arms obviously aren't heavy enough to convince autopilot I'm being a good boy ( maybe I should just get myself off to the gym ??)
I'm not considering this a method to drive without my hands on the wheel as that's clearly dangerous.
Any others experience this or have a neat solution to the problem? I know some Volvo drivers jam a small water bottle in there when on Pilot Assist...
Cheers.
