For me, the yellow lights on the wheel start flashing 4 seconds after I let go of the wheel. Then about 10-12 seconds after that is when it bongs and goes red.

That is only on roads, not freeways.

Testing the wheel in various positions, I found that the lowest position it could be was putting the inner top edge of the steering wheel at the very top edge of the lens glass frame. Any lower and the steering wheel blocks the cams vision of your eyes and gives warnings or wont allow it operate properly. This is without any sunglasses on, which have also proven to be a slight issue depending on types of lens and/or sun reflection on them at certain angles.

I bet that's it but was out of town for a couple of days. I will check it out.

OK, the steering wheel position was definitely the problem for me with Assisted Driving Plus. I must not have been that far off as it was occasionally activating for a second (I must have been slouching?). Moved the steering wheel on my way home from work tonight and got Plus to work on the interstate even in town without any issues.

I was not bold enough to try the "glance for lane change" feature for the first time while in city traffic, though. I will check that out soon enough.

Thankfully, I was close enough that I didn't have to move the wheel enough to be uncomfortable.

Thanks for the tips on that point, everyone who chimed in!

By the way, this was in the dark so I had clear glasses on. Hopefully sunglasses won't be a problem either, but with the weather here it will be a few days before I find out...

Update - finally had some sun this morning, and Assist Plus worked just fine with my "sunglasses" (which are really just tinted readers so YMMV if you use proper sunglasses).

I can't believe 6 months ago I was in my 35th consecutive year of driving a manual and hoping never to switch and now I'm spending most of my commute each day in an AT car, touching neither the pedals nor the wheel. Crazy.

Happy to have been of some assistance.
