Braking weirdness on highway
I've had my CLA250 for a couple of months now, and twice I've experienced some weird, if not alarming, braking behavior on the highway. Both times, the car seemed to engage the brakes hard for just a millisecond and just let go. Not the point of even slowing the car to any real extent, but it definitely got my attention. The first time was during a heavy rainstorm, though I don't remember winds, and the second was during heavy winds. That second time, the wind blew the car toward the other lane, but I was still in my lane, and that braking thing happened.
Could this be an actual safety function, like active braking assist? Or should I get it looked at? This is my first MB.

Driver Assist Function
Lane Keeping Assist does a momentary breaking to nudge the car back into its marked lane. You should have heard the audio warning along with a momentary graphic on the dash
