I have always had issues getting Driver + to engage so I believe this was off from the factory. On a recent road trip I discovered a warning when I double tapped down on the right stalk to engage Driver plus even though the driver plus symbol was not on the screen. It came up with the following warning "Wheel Alignment needed Service your vehicle".
Rivian R1T R1S Driver +  wheel alignment warning 20220911_122052


Ever since I had the RIT it would only allow me to engage driver plus within the first 2000 ft and if I disengaged it would not come back on. It would only allow it to go back into Driver + mode if I pulled over turned off the vehicle then got back on the freeway with the same 2000 ft condition.

After the service center visit it now works all the time. I can disengage to change lanes and reengage now. I would not have found this if I didn't double tap down on right stalk as if engaging Driver +.

The wheel Alignment was off according to the service center, however while driving the truck it held true on flat surfaces. they informed me it was a vary minor adjustment.

Just wanted to pass along in case someone else has come across this issue with Driver + being very limited or not allowing you to reengage after disengaging.

Went thru the same thing. I had an alignment issue that took 3 tries before they fixed it. i have said this before, but it can be fixed. I think word is going around service centers which should reduce some repeat visits.

Well hopefully Rivian officially (vs anecdotally) announces some 3d party National wheel & tire partners soon. If a “very minor” deviation can disable Driver+, I don’t want it to require an arcane ritual only available at a SC to exorcise it.

I got this warning for the first time this morning on my way to work. Then on my way home it worked fine ?‍♂
if you disengage will it allow you to reengage. This could also be the beginning of the problem.

I’m having the exact same issue. Steering wheel has always needed to be turned slightly left to go straight. Hopefully they can fix this at my already scheduled service in a few weeks.
