Eyes on the Road

[slodavid]

I appreciate the safetiness of the eye on the road monitor, but I like to drive with my arm at the 12 o'clock position. Is there any way to disable this feature or make it work with my arm in the way?

Under what conditions are you getting an alert to keep your eyes on the road? That alert should only occur if you are using BlueCruise.

Perhaps you can look into somehow relocating the module with the eye cameras so that it has a clear view of your face while you’re in your driving position?

Having your arm at 12 o'clock increases your chances for injury in an air bag deploy accident.

Take a driving course for your own safety. This is what is taught now.

It works whether or not BC is activated.

No, and no. It’s a safety system, you cannot and should not disable it. As Steve Jobs once said “You’re holding it wrong”. 12 o clock position will tear your arm off when the airbag goes off. End of PSA

There are ways to disable the eye monitor. Turn off lane keeping, BC, or hands free BC. You can also turn off radar cruise control in the settings. Someone also suggested on Reddit to cover the module with electrical tape. It’ll turn off the nanny, but you can’t use the advanced features either.

There are tons of threads on this subject here, on Reddit, and the FB group.

I was taught 9 and 3 by the instructors at the Bob Bondurant school. Best position to keep both hands on the wheel more of the time. It is ingrained in my driving style permanently I think, and works well with paddle shifters, too.
