Drove my kid to school 3min drive and this thing popped up. 2024 Kona

Usually it comes when driving for a long period of time but in my case not even 10min total.
It was offroad, could it be that the car couldn’t detect driving lanes, and saw bunch of cars parked facing towards and thought I was driving recklessly?

Precisely lol

Just turn it off

Assuming he can turn it off. I have a '24 Elantra and you can’t turn it off. If I go for a long road trip, I’m screwed :joy:

My '23 has a setting, I couldn’t find it for a while though.

So offroad detect lol
And by turning it off it won’t affect anything else?

Nope. Just makes the coffee cup go away.

@RooneyOnWheels
Thank you!

When you swerve a lot, the car thinks you are falling asleep.

Yeah was going thru a gravel path with bunch of holes.

It triggers from lane departure detection, late braking, lack of turn signal usage, blind spot alarms, and in some models it has a camera that is mounted on the steering column or inside of the instrument cluster and a few other things. Basically, indicators of drowsiness. It won’t trigger from making a few errors though; it has to be several of them pretty close together.

It doesn’t trigger from time alone for close to two hours if there are no detections; the soonest it will trip is 10 minutes or 5 minutes since the last door open or driver seatbelt unlatching.

If it’s working normally and you warmed your vehicle up, then drove characteristically “drowsy” for 5 or so minutes, then it would display the alert at the 5-minute mark etc.

Unrelated, but neat that it gives you the speed limit. Wish my 2020 could do that.

Yeah the car is pretty awesome for basic model. It’s an AWD preferred and it has all the stuff for basic needs.

Maybe your coffee system needs brown sugar? :heart_eyes_cat::lock::-1:

This appears to be an error message rather than an attention warning. The inattentive driver warning says something like “consider taking a break”.

Camera is likely obstructed.

Keep your Starbuck’s coffee receipts and send them to HYUNDAI for reimbursement!!!

In the morning sometimes the cameras are fogged up. Wipe all the lenses clean; you should be fine.

This does not seem to be the driver attention warning but that the driver attention warning had a malfunction (blocked sensors, or something?). You mentioned you were off-road, so most likely the sensor was panicking because it thought it was not calibrated or readings were off lol.

I have seen this happen to my Sonata but with the smart cruise/driving assist when driving on a highway for a long time. Turns out a plastic bag got stuck in front of the cameras/sensors in the bumper and the car had no idea what was going on lol. Didn’t do anything odd, just that I had no distance radar until I stopped at a rest stop and pulled out the bag from where it was.

@jazirah
I like the new cars’ “safety” features, but some are a little too sensitive. I also have a 2018 Sonata GL, super basic, which is my everyday car. The Kona is my wife’s car; whenever I drive her car, I feel old :joy:.

@Adam
Yep. Can happen lol. I had a 2018 Sonata before this one which barely had blind spot. Once you’re used to it, it’s nice. Plus, I feel less tired after long drives.
