OH... Lol. I had no idea it contained this “feature” when I bought it. It doesn’t do anything, except beep at me. Which, is distracting and NOT helpful
But as you say... This years model might just beep, next years model will beep three times and then shut down.
Give an inch and they will take a mile. Until folks start asking about these features and state “then I won’t buy it” if they do.
File a complaint with the federal safety regulators explaining that it is a driving attention distraction and safety hazard. Enough do his and they will have to recall them to disable the feature.
But as a mechanic, I’ll bet you can have a dealer disable it for you. I would ask if you haven’t yet. :)
