New truck and a sensor...?

I just messaged a friend that works at a major LTL carrier, here's what he had to say: "The lane departure can be turned off for a few minutes but comes back on. The proximity sensor on my truck can be unplugged, start the engine, plug it back in and it throws a fault so it doesn't work. Well, it did. They apparently updated my truck where it fixes the fault. I can still unplug the sensor, but I obviously can't leave it unplugged. I think I'll plug it halfway back in. It's maddening in city driving. It goes off if it thinks I'm to close even at 15 mph slowing down. I don't know how I have driven so many years without rear ending someone without some code and equipment telling me how to drive."

 

Don't forget to plug it back in if you need service.....

 

No clue.

I'm on my 3rd truck with the on guard.
It still does it but this one works the best.

 

The Volvo system allows for driver override at least. Even with cruise on if you manually override by pressing the accelerator.

 

The new ones are better at compensating. The old ones were a pain to align. They need to be put in "learning mode" with the diagnostic software and then driven down a straight road with obstacles on the side to calibrate them.

You might get a beep out of the newer ones bit of its hitting the brakes then something is wrong.

 

The fists trucks we had with the Volvo Enhanced Cruise radar alerted to ghosts all the time, beeped at overpasses and sometimes randomly hit the brakes. The newer antenna in my 2015 never ghosts on me so they have managed to fix that issue.
