Our Outback has lane assist. There are times when it can get confused.

Someone on the board once posted about driving a Subaru with lane assist in snowy conditions and the car had a problem understanding the snow and tire tracks and fought him.

Based on the other person's experience, I'd probably turn it off unless the roads were completely clear with no snow.

I've driven in snow and ice before, but probably not as much as you. That said, I'd probably go with full-time 4w Hi rather than automatic. I have to feel like it is better for it to be on rather than the computer having to constantly monitor and figure it out.

Fortunately, you're smarter than the average bear, Yogi. If you were like most Texans with a 4WD truck, you're be plowing on at 70mph regardless of the conditions.

Good luck. Sounds like a huge pain.
