Ass Tickling

[RDATLTE]

Ok, bear with me here. On my short 12 mile drive to the detailer yesterday, there were several times where just the driver’s seat bottom vibrated. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a part of some type of warning system. If so, are you able to turn it off? Asking for a friend.

 

[poor-sha]

Yeah, it was one of the safety features. You should see an icon on the dash a well. Could be lane departure, brake warning (you're approaching a vehicle in front quickly), pedestrian detection, or one of the rear cross-traffic. You can turn it off in the settings or there is a button for the lane departure.

I agree. Safety feature but I have to see if you can adjust the sensitivity as it is quite easy to trigger

Dang, you guys are no fun! If I was the first responder I would have suggested an emwrgency trip to the Proctologist!

Probably Lane Departure Warning. Chances are, you can probably adjust the setting somewhere in the Infotainment system.

For those Seinfeld fans:

Seinfeld | Cosmo Kramer's Impala | ASSMAN | Metal Stamped Replica Prop License Plate

The New York ASSMAN License Plate is produced as seen on Cosmo Kramer’s 1973 Chevrolet Impala in the episode “The Fusilli Jerry” from the television series Seinfeld. Kramer was referred to as "Assman" in reference to the license plate the state of New York accidentally gave him in the episode...

I'm not sure there is an adjustment, at least not on my CTS, the damn thing is always buzzing my ass.

I have that in my GMC Denali. There is a setting in convenience settings, I changed from seat buzz to chime. I'm sure most are like that.

On my V3 CTS-V you had the option of seat vibrating or a buzzer (I chose the former.)

I am amazed no one has told @CT4-V Blackwing to stop driving like a maniac yet.

Per CT5 manual on page 129, in Personalization screen, alerts can be set for the following:

• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian Protection
• Lane Change Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Rear Pedestrian Detection

Looks like most can be turned off or otherwise set to Seat Vibrate or Alert (beep / chime). The Pedestrian ones can be set to Alert and Brake to automatically apply the brakes as well.

Quit feeding it quarters and the tingling will stop.

Do you use your turn signals when changing lanes?

Do you use your turn signals when changing lanes?

It might be opposite. Turn signal on, driving around the world to the left.

Seriously, mine only buzzes when I'm in parking situations, or one time when someone stopped short in front of me. I don't know what y'all are doing to trigger this thing all the time, but you should probably stop...

Yep, most people not using turn signal for a lane change will trigger the lane departure vibration.

...STOP!

I don't drive a BMW.

I don't drive a BMW.

But you are in California....no one signals for anything in California.
