Enhanced Highway Assist
The Rivian Autonomy Platform+ adds a new advanced feature to enhance the highway driving experience. Enhanced Highway Assist allows you to use Highway Assist while letting go of the steering wheel for extended periods, in certain driving situations, as long as you're looking at the road. Enhanced Highway Assist relies on Driver Attention Detection to confirm that you're paying attention to the road ahead of you.
When Highway Assist is active, flashing hands appear around the Highway Assist icon to indicate the availability of Enhanced Highway Assist. To use Enhanced Highway Assist, take your hands off the steering wheel and pay attention to the road ahead.
Enhanced Highway Assist and Driver Attention Detection are turned on by default with this software update. To manage these features, go to Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance or Settings > Data and Privacy on the center display. For more information, open the Owner's Guide and search for Enhanced Highway Assist.
IMPORTANT
Enhanced Highway Assist is a driver assistance feature and doesn't replace the driver's attention, judgment, and need to control the vehicle. Always monitor the traffic and road conditions, and be prepared to brake or steer as needed.
New Driver Assistance Feature: Go Chime
While you're at a stop, Go Chime alerts you when the vehicle ahead of you drives away. Go Chime is turned on by default. To turn off Go Chime, go to Settings > Vehicle > Driver Assistance on the center display.
Wheel and Tire Swap
If you swap wheels and tires on your vehicle, you can now update your vehicle’s configuration to match, so that your vehicle provides accurate range and efficiency estimates, as well as optimal driving performance and handling. With this feature, you can save up to six wheel and tire configurations, and you can set and track the tire mileage and rotation reminders for each configuration, both in-vehicle and on the mobile app. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Service > Wheels and tires on the center display.
To view the current wheel and tire configuration on the Rivian mobile app version 2.20.0 or later, open the Vehicle tab and choose Vehicle Health.
For information about how to change a tire, open the Owner's Guide and search for Tire Change.
New Drive Mode for Performance Dual-Motor Vehicles
With this software update, we’ve made Performance Dual-Motor vehicles more capable. Go to Drive Modes > Off-Road on the center display to access Rally mode.

This upgrade, now available for eligible vehicles, also enhances your driving experience with three additional drive modes:
- Sport mode prioritizes on-road vehicle performance and a responsive driving experience.

Auto-Tilting of Side Mirrors in Reverse
