"Hold Steering Wheel" Warning - Adjust Sensitivity - sege - 03-22-2025
Hi there,
Happy Orbit user here. I drive a 2023 XC40 Recharge (single motor, low range, no ACC) and have used Orbit to enable ACC.
So far it's going well, but I do get a lot of "Hold Steering Wheel" Warnings, especially when cruising on the Autobahn. I am holding on to the steering wheel, but just not "hard" enough to satisfy the car.
Is there any chance to change the sensitivity for this maybe?
Thanks in advance!

From what I've noticed with the testing I've done, it's not checking for holding, rather resistance in the steering motion. Just poking it a bit to the left/ right is enough for mine (V90 though, so might differ)

Take a black sock (so it's less visible from the outside), fill it with 300 gram of rice, close it and put it on the steering wheel. There is your virtual hand ;-)

I've seen this defeated by putting a bottle of water in the lower steering wheel spokes to see if it would work. It did.
I would never, but it did work.

All fun until it falls, you then need to brake and it's wedged behind your pedal..

I’ve found a setting that may disable the alert and also the need of holding the steering wheel but have no time to try it.
208 Driver distraction protection : 01,02,03,04 are the options
Mine is set on 03 ( Driver distraction protection B ) and maybe setting it to 01 ( Without Driver Distraction Protection ) could work.

This is probably the option that shows the coffee cup and wants you to take a break, if you swerve too much on the road.
