Tips
-
Adaptive high beam assist. Settings -> Vehicle -> Displays and Lighting -> High Beam Assist. Select on "Adaptive".
-
Set up storage for Gear Guard . The maximum support disk is 2T and the required minimum disk is 128G. I personally recommended using 1T or 2T disks.
-
Enhanced Highway Assist . It only works on pre-mapped highways.
-
Camping model which supports auto leveling .
-
Rivian comes with a torch / flashlight which is integrated into the driver's side door.
-
Garage door pairing.
-
Rivian has a built-in navigation system (which is based on Google Map). However, it is often more convenient to explore locations and routes on your phone. Rivian allows any driver on a Rivian car to directly share Google Map from their phone to the Rivian app to open the route using the built-in navigation system.
-
Memorizing AC vent positions.
-
Disable unlocking at home. See Proximity Locking on Rivian for discussion.
-
Rivian supports auto kneeling which makes it convenient for children and small people to hop on/off the car. However, the behavior of auto kneeling is not consistently especially when it's interruptted by opening door when parked. I'd suggest you disable (default) this feature.
-
