You are driving continuous for more than four hours, take some rest...

[Firstfordguy]

Couple weeks ago I took my brand new 2024 Maverick Hybrid XLT to Vegas trip with some friends who drives their motorcycles. After an hour and half or two I heard a very friendly voice saying "You are driving continuously for more than four hours, please take some rest". Nice but hey I just drove a couple hours. Then we stopped for gas at Baker and then rolled out again. After awhile the voice came up again. And you know the rest of the trip it keeps saying that. Even after a good night sleep and some nice breakfast, the annoying voice said again when I kicked off my 2nd day...Does anyone have this issue? I plan to call my dealer sometime next week or so. Obviously I never drive for more than four hours during my trip and it just does not make sense. This is clearly a defect.

This voice you kept hearing, was it your inner conscience, a passenger? What was the source?

Must be a new thing my 22 doesn't do it. It does on a long trip with twistie roads and crossing the right line pop up on the dash that I need to rest. I think it is the lane keep assist. On fun twisties you gotta have fun.

my wife's Camry does that, never been heard in the Mav

Been on 4, 8 hour freeway drives and no warnings. 23 hybrid. Is it the 360 feature, or a setting?

You can turn it off.

It's also in the Owners Manual, that book that was in the glove compartment.

It's the HAL 9000 computer from "2001, A Space Odessey". Better do what he says or he'll shut your truck down!

Seriously though, I have a 2023 XLT and I never heard the truck "talk" to me after driving for long periods of time. Heck, one drive I took was over 2 hours.

In my wife's case she had to have surgery and have her eye lids lifted. Medicare will pay if they droop into the area of the pupil. In my case I had to tilt my seat back a little straighter up and not look at the drive mode and selector buttons as frequently. I think it also triggers "driver needs a nap" screen if you hug the edges of the lane.
In your case maybe you are paying too much attention to nearby motorcycles? Perhaps you are drifting in front of a cycle close to if not in your blind spot?

Leave the warning system at home!
It’s Vegas with the boys!

Clearly the voice should have repeated "Read the owners manual".
There are a lot of features to learn on these new vehicles. Some of them we can turn off, some we can't.
Enjoy your new vehicle.

Y'all have too much time on your hands, the voice in your head is your bladder talking to you.

Several trips from upstate NY to Florida and back... NEVER had a popup or warning like that.

Definitely not inside my head . I disconnected my phone cable to make sure it is not something from my Android Auto app.
