New Driver Alert Warning Rest Suggested - drink coffee icon

[BRONCO_MARC]

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?

According to your Bronco's sensors, you have been driving great for the last two and one-half years, but today, you are sleepy and should take a break! A stimulating hot beverage is also recommended (but not necessarily coffee)...

Can I modify the one in my Bronco so that an ice-cold Diet Coke meme pops up every time I show signs of needing a break?

Yep. Lots of newer cars have it. My dad had a Mercedes E350 back in 2013 that had it.

I got it on my way home from Granger after picking it up and never since. Algorithm must be based on time, speed and steering wheel movements . I was taking it easy and probably still looking at everything except the road ahead of me!

Even my 2016 F150 has the coffee alert. One of the first things I did in my Bronco was to disable the annoying thing

How often would it come up for you? I see that alert maybe once a year? But I guess I don’t drive too much at night. And I drink a crap ton of coffee anyway lol

Oh yeah, The new Update measures caffeine levels thru the steering wheel..Alerts when you're low

Mine says I’m way too boring and need tequila.

Good advice. I always top off my mug when I drive to work.

Huh.

My wife says it's popped up in her Bronco Sport before. I've never seen it in my Bronco, and I did a 16-hr straight run in it once. I guess I stop often enough for pee breaks and gas that it counts?

That's the "drive better" light

Keep it in perspective. Ford only recommends coffee. Rolls Royce has an in cabin latte machine that-based on an exceedingly precise algorithm-prepares a whipped yazoo double freakin incredible wazoo frappe deluxe whatever!

Don’t start making up names for things around here, do you remember the whole “SAS vs Sas” debacle? You’ll get the coffee aficionados started and they’re so hopped up on caffeine the servers will get shut down.

“SAS vs Sas”

vs sasq

I’m just gonna start calling them Sassy Broncy.

For those actually wanting an answer, your lane keep system is on, and you're drifting from your lane too often in a specific amount of time.
Put the phone down and stay in your lane.
If you're in a place where the lanes are shifting and the lines don't matter, turn lane keep off until you're in a place to use it again. Little button on the steering wheel on the left side turns it on and off.

Drive safely.
