Due to an incorrect steering boot installation, the Active Steering Assist system may remain engaged despite the driver's hands not being on the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time.
If the system remains active despite the driver not having their hands on the wheel, the driver's inattention may increase the risk of crash.
