Individually or collectively?

Considering ordering a ST hatch, but I need to be able to defeat some features under certain conditions.

Which features, specifically? ACC can be switched to standard cruise control. LKAS is a toggle. RDMS is turned off by default. I think the Collision mitigation system can be turned off in the Settings menu.

Road Departure Mitigation System is ON by default.

There are buttons behind the steering wheel on the left hand side to turn off RDM, CMBS and VSA. They all default back to ON when you shut off the car.

Note that pushing the VSA button doesn't fully disable VSA, it simply dampens it. To fully shut off VSA, there is an elaborate button/brake pedal sequence to go through.

Lots of construction here and lane paint is not always correct.

RDM has always been off by default for me ever since I got the car.

Same situation around my area. You can change lane departure warning to be just a warning and not a wheel shake in the center tablet submenu, buried somewhere under the settings tab. That made the feature far less annoying

The RDM On/Off button works well enough to make the car ignore incorrect lane striping. There's a stretch on my commute that triggers RDM when it's "on", but RDM gives no warning when it's "Off".

Basically, every safety nanny can be toggled on and off while driving without using the Settings menu (including the automatic high beams). You'd use the Settings to adjust the sensitivity of some systems, such as when the headlights automatically turn on.
