Auto Lane change - anybody having problems. Mine doesn't work at all

Auto Lane change - anybody having problems. Mine doesn't work at all
Doesn't show dotted line except on 6 lane road and even there won't change lanes when blinker partially or totally activated

I was using it successfully multiple times on a drive last night. What I find to be be the sweet spot is to push the signal stalk just to the point before it would click to full on. When feel that pressure point, I hold it there a for a second or two, then the auto lane engages and I release the stalk. After doing it three times it became very easy to do execute, and seemed to reliably engage each time.

Does it show dotted line when you try the Lane change Assist? That’s critical to work seamlessly apart from what PCorkett

 

[Bonanzajohn]

Doesn't show dotted line except on 6 lane road and still doesn't work. I will aim for the sweet spot suggest by PC

You’re using Highway Assist correct and not Adaptive Cruise? It only works on HWA meaning, freeways only. Just making sure you’re not using Adaptive Cruise or on some large multi-lane street expecting it to work.

From the manual

“NOTE: Lane Change Assist (LCA) is an advanced feature of Highway Assist (HWA). LCA works only on Freeways and Highways when HWA is active.”

 

[Bonanzajohn]

for sure Hwa activated

If you never see the dotted lines, you need to have service check it out; you may have a camera issue.

This update is the first one that *actually* uses every camera and sensor in the vehicle, so any latent camera issues would crop up now, unfortunately. The nice part is once it’s fixed, you’re good to go.

Mine's going in for service on Monday for them to fix auto lane change and a couple other minor issues. On mine, the auto lane change toggle on the Dream Drive settings menu rapidly flickers on and off by itself, which is how I knew something was wrong. There is also a flickering of dotted to solid highway lines in the gauge cluster.

Well, HA is only going to work on highways. If the only highways you have a six lane, then it might be OK. I’m just saying that to say it “only worked on a six lane highway” might be inaccurate. I live in Orange County and my usual commute has me on a 12 lane (in one direction) highway. I wouldn’t say that my lane assist only works on 12 lane highways though.

You just need to hold the stalk until the display shows that the lane change was initiated.

What i was saying is it doesn't work on 4 lane hiways

It works fine on 4 lane highways. If it is consistently not working for you, have service check it out.

It does work for me without any issues..

Echoing @borski on this. If it doesn't work, contact service.

I just picked the newest thread I could find regarding Highway Assist.

Ever since the latest update, 2.5.whatever, I’ve noticed Highway Assist disengaging and then disappearing altogether.

I’ve written often of my weekly commute to work. It’s 140 miles each way. I use HA pretty regularly. I’ve noticed since the latest update, that HA will disengage for no discernible reason. Not only that, I can no longer engage Adaptive Cruise either. This has been happening at least once on every drive to and from work.

If I’m not pressed for time, I’ll pull over into a safe area and perform a reset. I’ll then get out of the car, lock it, and walk away for about a minute. This USUALLY brings Adaptive Cruise and Highway Assist back. If I’m running late or can’t be assed to stop and do the reset, I’l just press on, mildly annoyed.

Can anyone else report having this same problem?
