Maybe you could adjust your seat and/or steering wheel position so that you can see the display better.
Needs louder indicator sound

I know that when they are on my music/spotify volume will lower and I hear what I call an "idiot" bell. It is a little louder that the blinker sound. It would be nice to be able to adjust the volume or maybe after 2 minutes it shuts off....come on, do you need to warn people 3 miles out that you are turning?

I think the indicators have always been there but a lot of people never see them because they are blocked by the steering wheel.

At a minimum, I wish they’d render the indicator arrows with a solid green fill when on a white background rather than just a green outline so that those people who can see them stand a better chance of noticing them. I am able to have seat and steering wheel adjusted properly and I can still see the indicators, but I find the green outline to not have enough contrast with the white (day) background to be as noticeable as other vehicles, especially when sun is shining on the unhooded display. At freeway speeds with music on I find the sound is very easily missed.

When you combine the placement and subtlety of the arrows, the subtlety of the sound, and the fact that the stalk always returns to center even with the signal on, I think it is way too easy to miss.

My first new car had a feature where if you drove for more than ~1 mile it would start sounding the warning chime to draw your attention to the fact that the signal was on.
Yes ??
