Clicks on steering wheel

Hi, I just bought a third hand 2017 GLS 450 with 50k miles. After driving it for a month, I noticed when I maintain about 40 - 60 mph, occasionally when I make a slight movement on the steering wheel, it would have a 3 consistent spring like click to it. Anyone know what problem it might be?

Thanks!

Is it the lane assist kicking in or giving you a warning?

Omg! This is embarrassing! Just turned off my lane assist and its gone! Honestly, Subie's lane assist of the wheel pulling you back makes a lot more sense than MB's clicks.

Regardless, thank you so much for the reply!

The three clicks are what I call three thumps. It is lane departure warning, not active lanekeeping assist as you refer to on the Subaru. Two different systems on MB.
