Symptoms to watch for

  • Driver-attention-monitor alarm chimes triggering very frequently, including on brief/normal glances such as checking mirrors
  • Lane-keep assist intervening with noticeably aggressive steering correction
  • Adaptive cruise control behaving conservatively/intrusively relative to driver expectations
  • Reviewers reported the driver-monitoring behaviour specifically as 'infuriating' and the standout weak point of the ownership experience

What To Check

Unlike a mechanical wear defect, this issue IS directly testable on a normal test drive - listen for chime frequency during ordinary head movement, and assess how aggressively lane-keep and adaptive cruise intervene. This is one of the more buyer-detectable issues in AutoLytiQs' knowledge base precisely because it is a software behaviour, not a hidden mechanical fault.
