My previous vehicle was a 1995 F-150 and when I was driving it, in order to be in the middle of my lane I needed to have the lane divider inside of the left front fender.
With this car it needs to be outside the left front fender ( according to my preferred seat position ).
I have had trouble getting my mind to make the transition after 24 years of driving the F-150.
Now I got the Emergency Lane Change thing and, in some ways it is great.
I tested it yesterday on freeway with no cars around and it works fine and relieves my anxiety about getting over the lane lines.
The downside is that it jerks the steering wheel right outta your hands if you don't have a good hold on it.
First time it happened it scared the bejeebers outta me.
Autopilot had acted like that when I took my test drive. I didn't buy it.
Now I'm glad I have the ELC because I can relax a bit. I only have a bit over 1,000 miles on my car in 3 months
and I'm sure I will adapt to the new car but while I'm in the process having the ELC gives me some peace of mind because I know I won't drift into the other lane.
But I wish they could gentle it down a bit. Really scary when it jerks the wheel like that.
