Disabling distraction alert notifications

Updated 07/08/2024

You can disable or enable distraction alert notifications in settings.

Disabling distraction alert notifications is only temporary as this setting automatically resets to enabled between drives.

You cannot disable alerts concerning driver tiredness or drowsiness.

Warning

The importance of a well-rested driver

Any notifications about you showing signs of being tired should be taken seriously, as a tired driver is often unaware of their condition. If you feel tired or receive an alert about it from the car, stop as soon as possible in a suitable location for a rest. Always plan for regular breaks and start all trips with a well-rested driver.

Driving while tired is comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol.

Note

Driver responsibility

Alerts about a lacking focus when driving are a supplement to safe driving practices. They do not reduce the driver's responsibility to continuously assess whether they are too tired or unfocused to drive safely.

Press the car symbol

in the bottom bar and go to Settings.

Go to Driving → Safety assistance → Driver alert.

Turn distraction alert notifications on or off.

Important

By disabling distraction alert notifications, you prevent your car from making emergency stops based on input from the driver alert system. This means that emergency stop assist will not intervene if the driver shows signs of tiredness or a lack of attention.
