High Beams Assist Now with Adaptive Option

The new High Beams Assist: Adaptive option activates high beams in low-light road conditions when the vehicle doesn’t detect street lighting or lights from the road. It also partially switches off high beams based on the vehicle traffic detected by the front camera. To enable or disable this feature, go to Settings > Vehicle > Displays and Lighting on the center display and select High Beams Assist: Adaptive.

Power Outlets Improvements

You can now choose to have power outlets turn on automatically when you enter the vehicle and turn off after you exit. Go to Energy > Outlets in the center display and select Auto. You can also:

• Use the time in conjunction with Auto option to keep the outlets on after you exit the vehicle (to help power your campsite, for example).
• Continue to use the time by itself as you have in the past.

(Thanks, LP, for the suggestion!)

Rivian Autonomy Platform Data Update Improvements

We’ve improved the Rivian Autonomy Platform data update experience. To automatically receive updates, connect your vehicle to Wi-Fi. During an automatic update, you can continue to use autonomy features. To view update progress, go to Vehicle > Shortcuts > Updates quick control on the center display.

NOTE

If the vehicle isn’t connected to Wi-Fi, you will receive a notification on the center display. The Rivian Autonomy Platform service area may be impacted.
