Interesting experience with warning chime and collision avoidance. I was not using AP or TACC, flipped signal to change lanes and got red line / red car located just to front-right of mine. I began manually changing lanes and that car slowed passing me a bit, causing it to be "too" close. First the warning chime sounded, then I felt the car pull back toward my original lane. It literally auto-steered and adjusted for me to avoid getting any closer to car passing in other lane. I've never felt auto-steer compensate when I was not using AP. Very cool to know it's looking out for me!
That would be SCA, or Side Collision Avoidance, not Autosteer.
Note: You get SCA even if you don't buy AP.
