Limited Max SPP steering wheel hand sensor

If you are jerking the wheel to tell it you're holding on to the wheel, then something is wrong. I barely have to provide a little bit of resistance for it to "reset" the timer.

Agree with @mdecillis
I’ve been using ACC in my MME for nearly 50k miles and barely realize the habits I have formed regarding resistive input.

Nailed it.

This is an embarrassing flaw. I use adaptive cruise and lane centering and 2 hands on the wheel. Having the car tell me to hold on to the wheel, when I am, is ridiculous. Making me shake the wheel before it turns the cruise off is dangerous. Cannot believe Ford lawyers allow this potentially liable stupidity.

Nothing liable about it...HaHa! It is actually because of the lawyers it exists. Part of your issue is that you ARE using 2 hands. You are creating no rotational resistance for the wheel to "feel". Why are you using lane centering when you are obviously actively driving your vehicle. That really isn't its use case. Use one hand and you will see the message less. Just saying.

I thought it was a pointless feature until my first road trip with the kids. I've since decided it's meant to allow parents to turn completely around to yell at the kids. Completely letting go of the steering wheel while making eye contact with the kids adds a new dimension of horror that makes them believe your serious this time.
