Oncoming Lane Mitigation - Country lanes
Hi,
I am looking to order a new XC40 soon. does the oncoming lane mitigation interfere with country lane driving, where either the lane is wide enough for a close pass, or where you have to pull over to let someone pass? Does the technology rely on white lines or will it start getting jumpy when driving down narrow roads with hedges etc and no markings? |

As far as I can tell, it only uses white lines for lane control on all roads. When there are no lines, the lane control indicator goes out and you lose this function.

There is an option on the touch screen to temporarily disable lane departure mitigation should it prove annoying along some stretch of road.
There is also collision mitigation to consider. It sometimes seems over cautious. However, I don't find the loud bell occasionally dinging at me a problem

Oncoming lane mitigation only works above 60KM/h, and it only activates where you have let your car drift across a clearly marked line into the path of another vehicle.
I can't see how it would interfere with normal country lane driving. |

I earlier mentioned the car dinging at me sometimes. On reading the manual more closely, this seems to be City Safety detecting a possible oncoming cross traffic collision on a bendy road. In this case a collision is unlikely of course as the traffic is just following the line of the road (assuming the other vehicle negotiates the bend correctly).
