Tips on Rivian Electronic Vehicles

Things on this page are fragmentary and immature notes/thoughts of the author. Please read with your own judgement!

Tips

  1. Adjust volume of different audio sources .

  2. Adjust wiper sensitivity level .

  3. Adaptive high beam assist. Settings -> Vehicle -> Displays and Lighting -> High Beam Assist. Select on "Adaptive".

  4. 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.

  5. Enhanced Highway Assist

  6. Camping model which supports auto leveling .

  7. Pet comfort mode .

  8. garage door pairing

  9. air compressor

  10. Rivian has a built-in navigation system. However, it is often more convenient to explore locations and routes on Google Map. Rivian allows any driver on a Rivian car to directly share Google Map to the Rivian app to open the route using the built-in navigation system.

  11. Memorizing AC vent positions.

  12. Disable unlocking at home. By default, Rivian locks and unlock automatically while you walk away/towards it. This can be annoying at home. Fortunately, Rivian supports customizing the proximity locking behavior at home. It can be configurated via "Settings -> Vehicle -> Access -> Proximity locking -> Locking behavior at home". Then how do you unlock Rivian at home? You can of course unlock it from the Rivian app. However, gen 2 Rivian has a very neat feature which allows you to touch the nub on the handle to unclok it at home.

  13. Rivian supports auto kneeling which makes it convenient for children and small people to hop on/off the car.

  14. Rivian Connect+. Once subscribed, you can use its WiFi hotspot.

  15. Rivian R1S does not support adjusting the height of the liftgate currently. However, there are walkaround as discussed in Rivian R1S Liftgate Height Adjustment Possible? .

  16. Capturing vehicle diagnostics .

  17. Car wash mode .

  18. Roadside lighting
