Driver break suggestion - repeatedly

[RobRob]

The driver break suggestion triggered on my LBX this week. I don’t think it was needed. The problem is that it was repeated every minute or less. I’m certain I was fully alert, not to say annoyed, after the first warning. On a busy rural Perthshire road there was nowhere to pull in, so the repeated warning on the HUD was quite distracting and unsafe. After 10 or 15 minutes I stopped in a village but the warning had come up 20 times or more.

Has anyone else had this problem? I don’t know if it was the road conditions repeatedly triggering an incorrect warning, or if I wasn’t cancelling it properly. The HUD showed a “return” symbol and mostly I pressed that one. It dismissed the warning but also changed the cruise control distance. I also tried pressing the function selector below, but that didn’t do any better.

From the handbook

Perhaps the second paragraph? Maybe your seating position is low for the camera?

One can disable the warnings

NemesisUK - That’s a different system. This one is called Driver Break Suggestion and is triggered by “vehicle swaying”.

The function sensitivity can be adjusted check in  the Customisation section of the handbook

It would be helpful to adjust sensitivity. Where did you see that? It isn't in my downloaded copy of the handbook, and I'm looking in the entry in the Customisation section.

Turning off the function wasn't saved when I tried it, and anyway I think it would be a useful warning if only it can be cancelled for a while. I see the manual doesn't say "This setting changes in accordance with My Settings" like it does for the Driver Monitor. I find the manual VERY hard work, and I'm someone with an IT background who reads manuals cover to cover. 

I did press the []] switch a couple of times and it didn't seem to help, but I can't be certain. Mostly I pressed the return key because that was shown in the HUD with the message and it seemed to work for 30s or so, even though the manual implies that only the (physical) return key on non-HUD vehicles works. It's hard to play with the system while driving in a queue of cars on a narrow road with oncoming traffic! Which is why this stuff should be intuitive :-(.

I'm still hoping someone here has had practical experience of the warning (good or bad) so that I know what to expect next time it happens.

Maybe it's one of those 'driver aides' that reset each cycle of the Power button i.e. you need to disable each time

The sensitivity setting is linked with the LDA settings

Thanks, that’s interesting, and something to consider if it happens again.

Yes coming back from Worcester in heavy rain but I refocussed & the Prompt never returned.

Drove 240 miles taking my daughter to uni across Wales and didn’t come up once. Was driving for about 7 hours in total. Nice drive, car felt good and relaxing. It did ask me if I wanted to put my windows up at a higher speed though!
