Take Steering message

[YukonCpt]

Did not find anything through a thread search and did not see anything in the owners manual.
On the instrument panel between the tach and speedometer we get a message that is yellowish orange and says "Take Steering" with an audio tone. My wife has told me she gets it but I have never been able to reproduce it. Today while she was driving she got it again. She thinks it means put 2 hands on the steering wheel because it happens when she only has one hand on at the top. She tried to recreate it but could not. Any ideas?
Also shows picture of steering wheel with hands at 10 and 2 with the message.
Thanks,

It's part of the lane keep assist function of the safety package. If the car senses that you are drifting or not actively steering the car, it will activate the message.

Hmmm. I have a 16 with LA and have never seen that. Wonder if it's new for 17?

The dealer told me that the package was modified for 17.

Does yours push you back into the lane?

I get the Lane assist that turns green to amber many times without the Take Steering Message. Yes it does push you back into the lane. But when it pushes me back it does not give the Take Steering message. I will try to recreate it now that I have a bit more info. Thanks

Yes, it pushes you back into the lane and I think it does turn amber if you get too close to the lines. Will have to check..

 

[DWSmoot]

Yes. Have a new 2017 and does the same. Keeps you in the lane and alerts if you are not correcting...

On a open road test I get the "Take Steering" message if I let it push me back in the lane the second time without taking the wheel.

It's funny that they show the hands at 10 & 2 like how us older ones were taught. Now they teach the new drivers 9 & 3 because of air bags. Both times I took skid driving classes we were taught 10 & 3 since you have better control of the steering. I've been using that method the last 30 years

I get this message, usually when I have just one hand on the wheel. It does not seem to be consistent and does not happen when drifting or being corrected.

My 17 has done it when I take my hands off the steering wheel, not related to lane keep as far as I know. I drive with one hand and never pops up, just once or twice when reaching for something.

Was able to get it tonight with both hands off wheel and drifting. Wife says she gets it with one hand on wheel.

This^^^

It seems to be inconsistent as to what sets it off but here is a pic.

LOL I think 35 mph is as slow as you can go with lane assist active. I had mine activate yesterday while driving with my knee, eating a cheeseburger and got to close to the center line it politely asked me to take the wheel......but, don't ya just love the 8" information display!

My wife told me it happens to her as well. Starting to wonder what the vehicle detects, is it resistance on the steering wheel?

2017 Tahoe - From observation, the "Take Steering" message appears whenever there is NO detectable motion in the steering wheel. Does not appear to be related to the placement of hands. Accelerometers in the wheel can detect even tiny motions, and will silence the message.

Just for fun, allow the Lane Keep Assist function to drive for a bit - notice that the steering control system soon diverges and lane excursions become too large to be safe. GM could adjust this, but people might freak out when they feel firm automatic corrections to the steering.

Mine does this when a car pulls out into the next lane, sort of a warning that the other car may make an unexpected move. Be prepared

 

[my09denali]

I've only noticed this when driving on long straight aways where no steering is needed and I haven't steered at all. Doesn't matter if I have 1 or 2 hands on the wheel. I think it only happens when it hasn't detected any steering wheel movement for a lenght of time. I've never had it come on with the lane departure warning.

Mine comes on occasionally , seems like on long straight roads where I make minimul corrections. I think it thinks I fell asleep lol.
