If you are a truck driver, then you know how important it is to maintain safety on the road. However, sometimes the safety features on your vehicle can be a little too sensitive, causing unnecessary distractions while driving. One feature that may cause this is the distance alert on a Volvo truck. Here is how you can disable it:
Step 1: Locate the Distance Alert Button
The distance alert button is located on the dashboard of your Volvo truck. It is a small button with the letters “DA” on it. Once you have located the button, press and hold it for about five seconds until the system beeps.
Step 2: Turn Off the Distance Alert
After you have pressed and held the distance alert button, the system will prompt you to turn off the feature. Use the arrow buttons on the dashboard to select “turn off” and then press the “OK” button.
Step 3: Confirm the Change
The system will then ask you to confirm the change. Use the arrow buttons to select “yes” and then press the “OK” button again. The distance alert will now be disabled.
Other Safety Features on a Volvo Truck
While disabling the distance alert can help reduce distractions while driving, it is important to note that there are other safety features on a Volvo truck that should not be disabled. For example, the lane departure warning and collision avoidance systems are designed to keep you and other drivers safe on the road.
