To turn off the distance alert, use your cruise control button. While this may seem counterintuitive, cruise control regulates your speed while also keeping your distance from other vehicles. By keeping a steady speed and proper distance between vehicles, the distance alert won’t go off.
Gauging distance when driving is difficult. This is especially true when you are driving a large truck or are on the road for extended periods. Any time you get slightly too close to a vehicle, you’ll hear the distance alert. If you choose not to use cruise control, you may hear the distance alert more often than not.
