New Driver Alert Warning Rest Suggested - drink coffee icon

[BigFootie]

I always assumed that’s what rumble strips were for. I’d touch them on occasion between KC and Des Moines on my non stop 20 hour trip from the TX hill country to WI. Would be there between 1 and 3pm after 12 hours on the road. I did this trip every 6 - 8 weeks for nearly 5 years.

I have a Mercedes that does this, (never seen it on Bronco), but now I am going to bust up laughing every time it comes on.

I figured Mercedes owners just blew rails on their own. I didn't realize their cars sent them a reminder!

wow....even straight driving from Moab to Houston I didn't get that and I only stopped for gas along the way.

Seen that warning before myself. I had my trusty thermo-mug full of coffee in the cup holder when it happened. The Bronco ought to be smart enough to know that!

It's a good friend that let's a guy know that he's not quite on the right level yet. Thanks merc!

My BMW would send this message as well.

BMW message appears when the driver stops swerving around on the highway, or inadvertently touches the turn signal.

More nannying from people who think they know better than you.

Very true. As though I need oversight at my age?

Has anyone seen this before? 2 1/2 years of driving and never seen this before. Was this part of a new update? Where is the coffee dispenser located?

Yes on one of my trips from Texas to Colorado cutting through New Mexico. Googled it and says something about our vehicles keep pretty good record of how we normally drive and it can sense possible fatigue or impairment. I was driving up and down some winding roads and was quite tired so it can be a mistake or maybe you aren’t keeping speed or staying in the lanes. You can just ignore the screen or take its advise for a quick break to stretch. I thought that was a nice little safety alert.

In the bronco settings is a option to turn this on and off with a slider switch..
