Software Update 2022.23.03
New Mode for Pets
When Pet Comfort is active, your vehicle maintains the last cabin temperature you set and disables the interior alarm, so pets can remain in your vehicle after you leave. The center display shows an animated message with the cabin temperature, so passersby know your pet is safe. Choose the Temperature button from the menu on the center display, and then choose the Pet Comfort button. When you return and start driving, your vehicle automatically turns off Pet Comfort.
To monitor Pet Comfort in the Rivian app on your smartphone, ensure you’re using version 1.4.1 or later.
New Front Camera View Behavior for Parking
We made it easier to park in tight parking spots with confidence. When you shift the vehicle from Reverse to Drive, the front camera view automatically appears on the center display until you exceed approximately 5 mph. This allows you to see the front camera and bird’s eye views without having to take your hands off the steering wheel. To disable this feature, choose Settings from the menu on the center display, and then choose Vehicle. Choose Driver+ and turn off Automatic Front Camera.
New Settings to Adjust Cabin Lights
We added control to adjust the brightness of cabin lights. Choose Vehicle from the menu on the center display, and then choose Lighting and Displays.
Updated Energy App
The Energy app is now a separate application; choose More from the menu on the center display, and then choose Energy. We also added a Summary Session to provide details about energy usage for charge sessions.
