I did it by mistake... but find it simplier that gently shaking the wheel. Didn't see it in a thread or a Google search, so hopefully this is helpful to someone else.

Using Stalk to confirm you are paying attention while car is on Auto Pilot

You are doing it wrong if you think you need to "shake" the wheel. It just needs a slight bit of tension.
Just put one hand between 2-4 O'clock or 8-10 O'clock to keep it happy. Two hands in those positions often work too, but sometimes if it's perfectly balanced it might not sense it.

I actually tested this out thoroughly on a recent road trip. If I used the stalk 15 times in a row when the warning would pop up, it would dismiss the message. After that, the warning would pop up every three seconds until I put just a little tension on the steering wheel. This was on an autopilot 1 vehicle.

AP stalk or turn signal stalk. How/direction is it being pushed? ie. if AP stalk do you go up 1 MPH and then down 1 MPH?

Exactly. I stumbled on it and i foud it useful. I did not try it 15x. Every now and then the car does not recognize the "tension" and i panic and take of AP and then reenable it. The stalk has been automatic.
This is useful to know.
