A vehicle, system for operating the vehicle and method of activating a control system is disclosed. The system includes a sensor for detecting lane markings of a driving lane, a road wheel angle sensor configured to measure a road wheel angle of the vehicle, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a distance of the vehicle from a central line of a driving lane form the detected lane markings, adjust an angular threshold for activation of the control system of the vehicle based on the determined distance, and activate the control system when the road wheel angle is within the angular threshold.

A method of controlling a vehicle having an automated driving system configured to control vehicle steering includes determining a commanded vehicle path. The method additionally includes calculating a steering command to satisfy the commanded vehicle path. The method also includes controlling vehicle steering, via the automated driving system, according to the steering command. The method further controls detecting a difference between an actual vehicle path and the commanded vehicle path, and, in response to the detected difference, controlling the vehicle according to a secondary mode.
