Pre-collison sensor disable

[Docked Wages]

I turned lane assist off by pressing the button on the center console.

Well looky there another button to push after I hit the Auto Start Disable one.

I have it on low sensitivity

I'll get a warning once a month

Usually some inattentive idiot cut in front of me

Otherwise it's not obnoxious if you reduce sensitivity

How do you change sensitivity?

Um, no. I pushed mine once, nine months ago. It's still off.

Yep, I found this out the embarrassing way. Dog stood on the button and I then wondered why the system wasn't working. After a couple of weeks where it didnt' work I took it to the Dealer who then told me about the button on the consul. Felt really stupid.

I get an insurance cost reduction for pre collision warning, don’t you people get it too?

You get the rate for having it. Using it is up to you

won’t you have a problem if it is disabled and have an accident? your insurance is based on the safety feature functioning

Is it?

I doubt that. I happy with it unplugged and just clearing the pop up message in the dash when I start the truck.

I would sure think that an insurance company would have plenty to say if they gave someone a discount based on the presence of a specific and permanent safety device, and then the insured driver got into an accident after going out of their way to disable it.

Also, am I crazy or are there two completely different sensors being discussed here? My understanding is that the pre-collision and adaptive cruise function use a sensor behind the front bumper, while the lane-keeping, auto high beam, and auto wipers are controlled by a camera by the inside rear view mirror.
