| Description of the problem | The lane departure warning sound does not have adequate volume and there is no option or software adjustment to increase this volume according to hyundai corporate or my local dealer service department. With increased age our hearing ability may be less than when we were younger, mixed in with fluctuating road noise, this safety feature may not inform (audible sound notification to low) a driver of lane departure at the early desired notification time. In my opinion, this non ability to adjust the volume up or down on the lane departure safety feature is a gross engineering failure. |
