Default Dynamic Cruise False Lane Departure

I have an NX300, 2020 model year.
When using dynamic cruise control we get frequent and annoying steering wheel vibrations/tugs as if we're out of our lane, but we're not. When dynamic cruise is off, this doesn't happen, we get appropriate lane departure vibrations/tugs. Any suggestions? Trying to reach our technology specialist, but no response so far.

My 2019 doesn’t seem to have that issue. I believe the 2020 was updated with enhanced safety features so maybe that is the change. Have you tried playing with the settings?

Check to see if you are in "Follow-up Cruising" mode. If so, and the vehicle in front of you sways, then your car will sway, as well.

Other items to consider...
  • Check if the "Lane Centering" function is turned on—which is different than the "Steering Assist" function.
  • Check to see if the "Vehicle Sway" system is turned on. In my UX, the menu icon is a coffee cup. Although I believe this just results in a warning alert, not a steering correction maneuver.

Thanks for your advice. Maybe it's trying to keep me in center lane. I'll check that out.

Yes that is the lane centering function in action. Is only active when using radar cruise control. It's actively trying to keep you in the center of the lane. So you'll feel it make little adjustments as you drive along. You can turn off just the lane centering function.

Well that sure explains it. Reading up about lane centering I didn't see that it was only active during radar cruise. I'll do some testing now, but that sure seems like the cause right there. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the response in explaining the two different functions. I had tried out the dynamic cruise control for the first time the other day, and notices that what I thought was the lane-keeping assist being much stronger.
