Keep Hand on Wheel Warning

[MDB]

I assumed the warning was mandatory or at least something Genesis thought was important. Yet, today I got a GV70 loaner which seemed to have the same driver assistance tools as the GV60 and as far as I could tell I could drive hands free as long as I wanted, no warning to keep my hands on the wheel. I'm not saying that driving hands free is a good idea, but thought the apparent absence of a warning in the GV70 was noteworthy.

Were you driving on the same roads? I've noticed that it will allow me more leniency if I'm on an HDA-enabled roadway.

I can't say for sure but I was driving local roads back from the dealership. I'm fairly certain the GV60 would have given the warning in the same circumstances.

I think the warning may relate to the speed of the vehicle. Yesterday I was sitting in slow but moving traffic with cruise on and received no warning with hands off the wheel.

It will definitely let you go for multiple minutes if the speed is in single digits.

I still get the warning on my GV70 when using cruise in very slow traffic. Doesn’t seem to cut much slack.

I’ve let it go for a very long time in stop and go traffic without hands on the wheel. I haven’t figured out the threshold, but I believe it’s somewhere in the mid 20mph range. It seems that so long as you don’t exceed the speed threshold the car doesn’t warn about hands on the wheel.

In previous AMG and Volvo vehicles, you didn't need to hold the wheel below 40 km/h. It was sweet in traffic jams - one just needed to tap the pedal to resume movement if the car ever came to a stop.

You're aware that in the GV60 you don't even have to do that, right? - at least if you are on a freeway. I almost enjoy traffic jams now. Almost.

Maybe that's an HDA2 thing. I'm pretty sure mine prompts me to restart motion - at least while on the highway that runs through the city, which is the only place I'd have experienced stop-and-go highway driving.

the only place I'd have experienced stop-and-go highway driving.

I live in Los Angeles. Stop-and-go driving is an experience that can happen on any type of road at almost any time of day! If the road has cross traffic (i.e. stoplights) then I have to press the button to resume motion after a full stop of more than a couple of seconds. But on a freeway (no lights), it restarts motion all by itself. Ok, looks like this is an HDA2 feature:

It definitely works for me on every freeway I've been on here in California, whether they were designated as interstates (5, 405, 210, etc.) or California highways (2, 91, 101, etc.).

I thought GV60 only has HDA, not HDA2.

"The system will only work on those roads and when moving at speeds under 95 mph." Well, that explains why I thought HDA wasn't working.... (and the warning, something to the effect of "you'll have to drive yourself at this speed, daddy")

According to the 2024 Model Year Spec Sheet, all [US] trims have HDA2.

2023=HDA
2024=HDA2

What is an HDA-enabled roadway? How do I know if I am on one?

The OM says "Highway Driving Assist is available only on controlled access road of certain highways." It further says that in the US, those consist of Select Interstate Highways and U.S. (Federal) and State Highways. I don't know how to tell if you're on one!

 

[gvjim]

I don't know how to tell if you're on one!

If the cruise control is on, you can tell in the heads up display. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's pretty obvious.

Last month I was on a road trip in Central California. Most of the 101 is HDA-enabled, but there are some sections where there are side roads that connect directly to the road, without on/off ramps. In those sections, I could see in the HUD that HDA was not available (so no automatic lane changes, for example). I was surprised to see that it WAS available on the stretch of the 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. Unlike most of the 1 which is a 2 lane road, that section is a divided highway with on/off ramps.

It's not that big of a deal though - I think the only differences are auto-resume in stop-and-go traffic, and automatic lane changes.

I have HDA and it does resume in stop-and-go traffic but if you stop to long you have to resume manually. Does HDA2 resume if you are stopped for say a couple minutes?

 

[gvjim]

Does HDA2 resume if you are stopped for say a couple minutes?

Yes, it will resume after any amount of time with no further intervention. I've driven for miles in stop-and-go traffic with no intervention at all.
