That is deeply incorrect, as long as my market is concerned. In the first release of the manual, the ACC could be extended “using, moving” the steering wheel. In the latest release, the manual states ”grabbing”. That simply demonstrates that there is a new procedure that involves new steering wheel hardware…
That difference in wording could be due to translation issues or otherwise, but I'm not losing any sleep over it!

Firstly, apologies for going off topic, but this post is tech-related and there’s been lots of tech-related discussion on the forum over the past few days.Driver Attempts to Trick Lane Assist With Water Bottle, Almost Dies in Your Arms Tonight
As most people know, lane assist systems are not autonomous driving systems. One driver filmed himself while attempting to demonstrate his car's abilities

Totally agree as too many people just can't drive anymore, they pass their test and think they know it all and these features just cover that up, also driving a DSG car is completely different and and folk should learn how to do it properly. There are some really good guides to be found on the internet about this but how many even bother to find out.Firstly, apologies for going off topic, but this post is tech-related and there’s been lots of tech-related discussion on the forum over the past few days.
Is it just me that thinks car manufacturers have gone too far with driver assistance / driver aid technology? Admittedly, some of it is very useful and potentially lifesaving (e.g. ABS braking systems, autonomous emergency braking). However, most of it I’d happily live without.
I learnt to drive in the 1970’s - before the days of ‘must have’ features such as sat nav, blind spot monitoring, cruse control (active or otherwise), lane assist, park assist and many others. IMHO there‘s a danger of drivers becoming too reliant on the driver assistance tech in cars, which can’t be a good thing; the tech isn’t infallible, and too much reliance on it could lull some into a false sense of security. Plus, finding ways to adapt and modify the tech as highlighted in the link to the article you’ve posted could be potentially very dangerous to the driver and others.
I dare say the increase over time in the amount and scope of driver assistance tech being built into cars is to get us ready for autonomous vehicles. I for one aren’t looking forward to the day when the car drives us as opposed to us driving the car
Agreed!

Look online and you will find lots of articles, in fact I even read one on this site somewhere.
