Weird that you cannot disable the collision warning and lane keeping. What Make/model is it?

Usually you can disable it but on a per-ride basis and it takes a lot of menu scrolling and tapping to do it again. It defaults to 'on' when you start the car, and there is no physical switch to disable it permanently.

  Yeah, I meant it's weird you cannot just disable it and have that saved across starts. Mine allows me to disable those features and they don't turn back on when you restart the vehicle. I don't think AEB is a feature that can be disabled though. Just the collision avoidance feature. They are similar, but not the same. AEB is supposed to only trigger when a crash is imminent while collision avoidance is what triggers when it thinks you are about to have a crash that can be averted. I've never had AEB trigger, but CA triggers regularly enough that I know when to expect it now.

  I imagine there is no permanent disable because it is a "safety" feature. But at least on my Subaru disabling it is a physical button. No scrolling and tapping required. On the other hand, it also works well enough that I haven't felt a need to disable it.

    On my 21 Subaru I disable lane assist unless I’m on the highway. It’s too strong on the wheel, and there are too many construction related lane issues near me that have almost caused accidents for me multiple times.

      Do you not have strength settings on the lane keeping? My 2020 Kia Telluride lets me control how strong the lane keeping is with 3 levels.
