This is my inaugural electric vehicle, and I am acclimating to the distinctions from my previous Focus, which I cherished immensely.
One of the initial shortcomings I observed during the trip home after purchasing it was that while using the cruise control, the car exhibited a shake on the road. Initially, I believed the automobile was being affected by the wind, since I sensed it shifting beneath me and the steering wheel oscillating laterally. Upon braking and disengaging the cruise control, the shimmying ceased. After several excursions, I learnt that it occurred solely when HDA was operational. It appears to be perpetually overcompensating in an effort to maintain its lane position. Do they all engage in this behaviour?
A memorable experience with HDA occurred when navigating roadworks on the M3, with the cruise control set to 50, when the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated. I looked at the HUD and observed the speed limit indicator indicating 70, despite the absence of any road signs. During the return journey, the variable speed limit on the M25 indicated 50, although the system saw it as 80 and accelerated accordingly. What the heck!
The HDA deactivates each time cruise control is engaged unless I navigate the options to disable it permanently, if that is possible.
