People who wear glasses
especially those who have the reactive lenses fitted, appear to be affected the most.
A relative has the Volvo 40 Coupe EV and he rang his dealer to complain about his alert going off all of the time, the service department asked him if he wears glasses for diving and do they have the reactive lenses ( which he does ) and told him it’s a common complaint.
He tried using his previous glasses which has no reactive lenses fitted and it was a lot better.
I think you can turn it off completely in the head unit settings, or there is an option to just turn off the bonging, this will leave the “coffee cup” yellow warning flagging up, but will stop the annoying repetitive bonging
. I remember once, we were travelling along a dual carriageway and I yawned, the thing started bonging and it would not stop.
It went on for what seemed like forever.
My wife asking me to “turn the blooding thing off, it’s giving me a headache” !.
We reached our junction to leave the carriageway and then reduced speed to join a small roundabout, as soon as the car reduced to a snail pace, the bonging stopped.
The car obviously though we where taking its advise and stopping for a coffee
.
We joined the roundabout and continued our trip without any more warnings.
It’s a good safety feature, but it’s very over sensitive and makes absolutely no allowance for even a single issue it detects.
