R1S automatically parked during red light waits - how to disable?

[Windblade]

I have had this happen when I lean out the driver window too far.

This happened to me. There are sensors under the seat to detect if you're there or not, if you're not there the truck will go into park.

BUT that was not my problem.

I had to take my truck in for service 3 times.

They determined the issue was with the sensors in the brake rotors coupled with software.

Good luck.

My R1S frequently shifted to park automatically during red light waits. The screen also show a message saying it is automatically parked. Sometimes, the auto park happened within 10 seconds of the wait.

Does anyway else find this feature annoying? I have to shift it to drive again during the wait. I once forgot to shift and couldn’t have the car moving quickly. The cars behind me were mad.

Is there anyway to disable the feature. I couldn’t find how.

That is not at “feature”. Either there is something wrong with your vehicle or you are lifting yourself out of your seat to adjust your position (even slightly) and the vehicle thinks there is no driver so shifts to Park.

My door will not open if I'm in D or Fwd.

Pull on the door handle twice. It is required as a safety measure you be able to get out of the car in almost any situation so they wouldn't prevent you from doing so.

Oh, I did not know that. I wonder if it will do that in Neutral? If so, will it use the Hold mode? My friend had his BMW EV roll away and cause immense loss. I told him my R1T would not let that happen. It is so easy to use the shifter to P that I will not take chances. I hope the smart car will sense no weight in the driver's seat and go into at least Hold or park.

As the shifter says stop then put in park, as a reply to hitting the shifter into park while driving

I had this situation several months ago when my wife would drive the car. To make the seat more comfortable for her we had a seat insert to support her back. But it lifted her off the seat sensors to measure the size and weight of the driver. The Riv shifted into park, sensing a person too small to drive was in the seat.

This may be exactly the problem I have. I also have a pillow at the back of the seat to make my back support better. Have you found a solution to the situation for your wife?
