BYD Atto 3 - Version 1.8 Update, Episode 65

[@nkk1989]

Hi, that icon is the Lane Support System (LSS). It has always been on for me as far as I can remember getting the car since June 2024. It allows the car to sense when you are too close to the lane markings and give you a warning. I think you can adjust the level of LSS in the settings.

Several problems in update 1.71, the voice assistant is not possible anymore to Shut off. It goes on randomly during Conversation.. earlier version 1.7. upgrade had a choice to turn it on or off, ..and turn it on by the wheel button.. it is not possible in the 1.71 update. And the Wheel sensors are not calibrated anymore.. and reports wrong values. And it consumes more Energy now Per mileage then in the earlier upgrade. Hoping for the upgrade that works.

Maybe its not consuming more energy but giving the true numbers 😂

Agree with the updates ive had two in 11 months in the uk

It's a Lane Keeping System Light. To enable or disable the LKS, tap on → Dipilot → Driving Assist → Lane Changing Assist.

[@bydatto39461]

Yes but can it be permanently disabled? Or will it always come on everytime you start the car??

[@ngohoangart]

@bydatto39461 I don’t know where you live, but in the UK it is a mandatory safety feature and it cannot be disabled permanently by law. I think you can just turn off Lane Assist itself (the first option), but the Emergency one cannot be disabled permanently.

@@ngohoangart Thanks for the info, I'll have a play around with my wife's car!

The ICC and LKA has vastly improved 3 finger swipe great feature upgrade and stop winching

[@raypalmer7733]

I would guess the two icons are 'Lane Keep Assist' and 'Lane Depart Assist'.

[@bydatto39461]

My guesses as well

Hi, I watched your upgrade to 1.8 which I also did about a week ago. The annoying lane assist? Does seem to be permanent now. I did like the driving lights disable switch in software as some times you might be sitting somewhere in your ATTO and the lights only drain power from the battery but it’s a pity you can only enable and disable in software. I tried voice control but that didn’t work. The mobile App seems to have also changed and you now have a find my car feature which I used in the carpark the other day and it was close. I haven’t noticed any other changes yet. BYD seem to be expanding rapidly in Perth, my neighbours have just ordered a Sealion for him and a Seal for her.

[@bydatto39461]

Hi Brett! Thanks for the info and comments. I haven't had time to delve into the changes yet, so it's good to hear some feedback. Perth seems to be a good place for BYD, whilst here in the Goldfields, Iris and I haven't seen a single other BYD yet!

LSS permanent now? This thing tried to kill me couple times, also many reports on facebook about it. If I not able to switch it off, is too dangerous too drive and Atto 3 is done. Anyhow, last update in UK did more harm than good. Acc become more paranoid of every single tree or bush on side of the road. Trying to find videos here is any good this time come with update, got nill here. But thx anyway...

[@bydatto39461]

@@audriusa5368 You can disable the lane centreing permantley ( see my Quickie Episode on it ) But Lane Keeping has to be disabled for every ignition event. Around town where I live it's not too bad, only on the major roads where line marking is vivid. The new safety systems are becoming problematic for sure. BYDs other cars here in Australia, the Seal and Dolphin, both have phantom braking problems being reported by some drivers. I'm in a Dolphin for a couple of days as we speak, and had a Phantom Braking episode just today! Was a bit unnerving to say the least. Don't know what the solution is. I'm running v1.6 on my Atto, and no plans to upgrade if I can help it! Having said that, my wife's car could be worse, the Dolphin is terrible. Speed warning unable to be disabled just one example. Sounds are grating, not refined at all. Look out for an upcoming episode on it! Best of luck anyway, we can only these systems improve...

@@bydatto39461 yes, lane centering and LSS is completely different beasts. lane centering works like charm on motorway and I enjoy it a lot, only shorter that in other cars "hands on wheel" timing is annoying, but ok there. Even you can teach AI which lane closer you prefer and its stay away slightly from trucks automatically. LSS is other beast, which is dangerous. I have 30% curve at my home with 40mph limit. Once LSS turned sharp and hard steering wheel to opposite traffic, crossing double line. Lucky enough my both hands was on wheel and I managed return back to my lane after intense opposite lane driver honking. With one hand and turn force so hard I wouldn't unable turn in time back. 35mph doing me, driver opposite was like 40 mph = result is 75mph into wall. And LSS doing that every time in same spot-I carefully checked couple more times. No thx, now I remember evil LSS on every ignition.

Was that a roadkill koala on the steering wheel?

😆Er nope!
