Active Lane Management - Place Hands on Steering Wheel - Warning

When using Active Lane Management (ALM) - in "Vibration and Steering Assist" mode, I periodically get a "Place Hands on Steering Wheel" warning on the instrument cluster. If I move the steering wheel a small amount it goes away, if i do not move the wheel the ALM turns off. I have tried may different hand positions and grip pressures, the only things that works is to move the steering wheel a small amount as you drive (crazy solution). Seems like there needs to be a sensitivity adjust somewhere.
Anybody else having his issue?
Here is warning and Setup screen;

I notice I have to touch the back of the wheel. The touch is literally like a feather but it has to be the back.

I have received the warning as well many times, especially on road trips on the interstate. In each case my hands were on the wheel already and I was fully paying attention (making regular small inputs to the steering).

I owned a 2018 Ram Laramie Limited -- had the same problem. It appears that after 3 years FCA hasn't tweaked it. I'd be driving on the interstate - hands on steering wheel -- and got the same problem. I haven't yet experienced this on my GCL. My thoughts...

Yes have experienced all of the above as well good to know some movement turns off the beeping cause the beep is annoyingly loud and sometimes takes second to register hands haha. Hopefully they come out w a software update to make this adjustable, comes as handsfree ALM on the 22's seems like easy fix over air well see could be complications involved somehow.

Mercedes system does the same thing - apparently, these systems rely on very small movements of the wheel to confirm that you are still "driving." GM Super Cruise and others coming out now like Ford Blur Cruise use camera to look at your eyes and see where they are pointing - but that isn't a common way to confirm attention yet.

I have the same problem, I know you not supposed to but I often drive with my leg on straight aways and that’s a no go for warning system

I often put one hand at the 12 o'clock position when cruising, and that warning would come on. Then I would put both hands at 10 & 2 o'clock positions with a good grab, then the warning would go away...somehow, the computer does not recognize my single hand grip at 12o'clock. Has anyone experienced something similar?
