How to turn off these safety features for good?

F80mar · 10-17-2023, 03:41 PM

Hey everyone, I have a question and i’m hoping someone can help me out. My car has the drivers assistance package and it has these safety features but I don’t like them and I need to turn them off everytime I get in the car. There has to be a way to turn them off for good to where they will not turn back on when I restart the car. If anyone knows how please let me know, thank you

According to the MANUAL, if you have a driver profile it will remember and save the your setting.

I see, do you know how can I turn them off on my driver profile? I really appreciate the response

Deselect the features by pressing the button, and hit the save function then 1 or 2 on the seat. Export driver profile and save to a USB drive for later. Or, repeat those steps when the car loses battery power.

They are always off if your car doesn't have them

It still doesn’t work I set it to the memory seats and when I came back to my car the middle one turned back on I don’t know why it keeps turning back on it’s so annoying could there be another way to disable it?

The central one always turns on, you cannot exclude it except manually when it is working.

You can go into the iDrive and set the warning distance for the center one to the minimum. Unless you're drafting traffic you should never have it alert you.

Personally I want the info. I’ll then make the decision how to ignore or incorporate it.

And you get a nice little cubby for your sunglasses where those buttons would be!
