Most vehicles allow you to use ADAS(advanced driver assist systems) as you wish. Normally stuff such as lane departure/lane keep assist,blind spot detection etc. can be turned on /off. Read the owners manual! You will likely learn to love stuff such as adaptive cruise control. I have an 18 Mustang GT that's loaded with this stuff...some I have disabled and some(adaptive cruise) I have learned to love....wish I could put it on my other two daily drivers! i have learned to like it on my Wife's cars. Her Acura RDX can damn near drive it self on the highway, her Durango bounced between stripes for the most part, the Acura can hold it right down the middle.

When I was a kid I read the owners manual for my 73 Charger, front to back. It was about fifty to sixty 1/4 sheet pages. Fully illustrated it told how to change the tires & oil, how to replace a fuse, safety precautions for towing stuff like that. Now they are 200 to 300 pages filled with stuff like don't drink the acid in the battery and do not bath in motor oil. ![realcrazy realcrazy](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/realcrazy.gif) These manuals today are written by people who hate cars and their owners. ![laugh2 laugh2](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/laugh2.gif) That is probably the reason most people don't read the owners manual anymore. If it's even got a manual, for many cars it's an app on the phone you have to download. Working on wifey's Subaru. Can't believe how many times the manual says something like "This may be difficult to do. Have your Subaru dealer do it". HAH!!! Somebody no smarter than me assembled it, I can get it apart.
"We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended".

Well it's been a couple months since we got the jeep and it's been great!We use it haul stuff in ,even took a large wood kitchen table and chairs to a local thrift store and donated it.Drive it in the sand,4x4 sand mode of course.And it's got enough hp to get out of it's own way and be a comfortable cruiser.Were even registered our jeep for the Wildwood NJ Jeep Invasion and talked to fellow jeep people who are pretty welcoming.It should be fun but we we will avoid the sand obstacle course need deeper grove tires,maybe Mickey Thompsons. ![drive drive](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/drive.gif)
