My car lets you turn off lane assist, it's the collision avoidance that I can't turn off that is trying to kill me. Randomly I'll be driving along when an alarm sounds and it tries to swerve off the road. It's fucking infuriating and dangerous and despite many of us complaining to the manufacturer you can't turn it off.
Is it on an independent fuse? If so just pull the fuse
Man do they still do that with these "smart features" or is it all just linked to an inexplicable welded shut black box now? Lol
Honestly I have no idea. Often they run different features through different control modules, but every car is different.
Subaru?
