One thing I never use is the Dynamic Radar Cruise and use the Constant Speed Cruise control (even though its supposedly for only when the sensors are dirty). With Cruise control off, you select and hold the Cruise control switch for about 2 secs. Using Constant speed eliminates the driver assistance (vehicle follow distance).

If I might suggest.............

Knowing you can turn off some if not all of these features, it should not stop you from buying this truly outstanding car. It's in a class by itself. However, since you can turn these things off, you might want to drive around with them working first before disabling them. Personally, I found these features on some of the newer cars I've owned yo be a pain at first. But, you do get used to them and learn to drive with them after a while and it has saved me from at least one accident. Might be worth seeing if you can tolerate them first before turning them off. Just sayin'

The worst ones on the new ones is curve speed reduction. Had a loaner for a day and boy did it **** me off, turned it off quick.

Turned off the radar cruise control feature in my old BMW, but I use it all the time now in my LC. I have learned to make it work for me and it's adjustable, so I appreciate it now.

​​​​​I have turned Off the lane centering assist, but I keep the lane departure alarm On. It has helped me at least once- momentary lapse in reason applies, lol.

I am still exploring the Traction Control/Snow mode. Seems it turns back On by itself. I was testing wet tire traction (not doing donuts, promise).

Snow mode is something I never hear about.

Traction control reminded me of a screenshot I have from a different thread.
