Yes, and I was disengage it at the moment after decreasing the setting since it took to long time. The stick was better…

I could be the system engaging brakes to keep the car straight since there was really heavy wind gusts at same time

Ii learned the (vey) hard way that driving in rain with cruise on is not a good idea.
as the cruise doesn't disengage when the tires start aquaplaning

I never drive with CC on in rain. I figured out a long time ago, that wouldn’t be very smart.

No recent updates, very satisfied so far. I definitely think that the quality has improved with less squeaky material since 2016 and doors are not slammed shut in your face anymore

Some things are not optimal:
when springs and dampers are fully extended with a loud bang
sensors are too sensitive, parked in rain and they will be dis-engaged. Drive in snow everything will be shut down.
Navi complains about non compatible map and goes to sleep 2-3 times per week. Recover after switch of car.
no light in the socket for charging? You have the rear light in your face and you cant see anything when plugging it in when dark

ed: now 10k km and 7k on battery so with my driving pattern it works well even if I only get 45km on a charged battery. It does charge the battery while driving and this will reduce the consumption of fuel even if the battery is “empty” by switching of engine in sailing mode and go on electric when very low power is required
