Is Steer Mode a real thing?

[Genesiswonderer]

So this guide mentioned a steer mode for the lane keeping a while back and apparently you enable it through the engineering mode. Is this real or is this just pre departure mode/active lka? If it’s real, how do you enable it?

LKAS SteerMode

Anybody else notice their LKAS system has an aggressive propensity to tip into corners (perfectly, I might add) on entry with a good lane lock? It tips in/boosts steering assist for about 4 seconds before releasing. It's not happening as a feature of running out of lane bounds. I'm thinking it...

It doesn't "add" a feature, you would already have to have pre-departure turned on in LKAS. SteerMode seems to increase the aggressiveness (how sharp of a turn it will remain engaged) of the lane following system, but that's all. It doesn't give you the ability to drive hands off or anything.

Thanks for the reply! So I’m still confused. So is steer mode just pre departure mode? How do you enable steer mode (I have the tech package with the 8 inch screen without the jog wheel)? I want to try it just for fun. And what exactly does it do? Will it keep you more at the center of the lane?

Not an Ultimate, so you don't have the button.

It just lets LKAS turn sharper to stay in the lane. Not really useful beyond sweeping interstate turns that are well marked. It has no effect on normal LKAS operation.

I think it's simply a CAN announce flag that the radio pushes out over the instrument control network. It's possible if reverse engineered to do it with any LKAS equipped vehicle, but honestly just easier to install Comma.AI and ditch the entire LKAS system the car uses.

This is the best you will find for Genesis. A super enhanced driver assist for Genesis, thanks to Openpilot.
