Maybe try putting it in low gear to keep the temperature down

Thanks! I’ll try that next time. Hopefully, my engine isn’t damaged since I drove it for 30 miles in the cold without it on

I think he was just kidding around.

Sadly, it wasn’t a joke. My engine is broken.

My mother-in-law’s 2013 model has lane keeping. I don’t like it, so I always turn it off in my car.

Maybe it’s because you’ve chosen a new Pope.

This comment is too funny .

Yep, at -12°F or -24°C, white smoke is normal! My car does it too. I love my heated steering wheel and seats .

A basic model with lane assist? :thinking:

Usually, the lower-end models like the SE don’t come with too much extra tech. It’s strange that yours has lane assist but not the full tech package that includes the digital dashboard and better radio.

I thought they usually come with the digital dashboard. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s what I’ve seen.

My SE Hybrid has lane assist and the same dashboard. It was part of the safety package, but it’s odd that it doesn’t have a leather-wrapped steering wheel while having power seats.

My 2020 S model has it too. I turned it off because it’s too annoying.

My 2019 S had it as well, along with BLIS.

@Jonathan
Sorry about your car. I’m surprised at how much the S model includes. The only things it doesn’t have are heated mirrors and automatic AC, but other than that, I’m happy with it.

I think the sarcasm is real here, given that it’s -12°F.

You have lane keeping?!

Yeah, but I never use it in my state since the snow makes the road lines disappear.
