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

[RivianSurvive]

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.

It has never ever happened to me and I do wait a lot on my way to work everyday for a lost 9m in my Rivian R1S.

It may be sending you signal to go rock climbing or skiing or just go off road

Is the seatbelt buckled? Lifting your butt off the seat to reach anything in the back, or anything like that?

This is not a feature. Something is wrong. Do you shift about in your seat significantly at stops?

I don’t shift my seat at all during stops. I merely put my hands off the wheel and feet off the break or gas. The car somehow felt there was lack of activity, so automatically shifted it to park.

Supposed to auto-park if you haven't moved for 10 minutes, so likely not that.

If vehicle hold thinks that you are still rolling (or the system is faulting) it'll shift into park. How do your brakes look?

It'll also auto-park if it detects a charger plugged in while in drive (I just had to try). But it won't let you back into drive.

See if it still happens if you're manually on the brake at a stop.

I think you might have your seat belt off... if you keep it on it shouldnt shift to park...

No, that isn’t the case. I never unbuckle my sear belt during driving.

Unless there's a bug, there aren't many reasons the vehicle will shift into park by itself.

Few cases I can think of:

- Sitting in Drive for an extended time. It will go into park after ~10 minutes or so. Experienced this a few times waiting in a long line.

- You are going very slow and lift your butt off the seat. For example, backing up into a parking spot and you lean a little too far out the window causing your butt to lift off. Car will go into park.

- You're stopped in Drive and you open the door. It'll go into Park.

Anything else is likely a bug.

You may not, but the vehicle may think you are. Something to get checked out by service. Try to record it when it happens and also take note of the time. Service should be able to look at logs to determine why that happened with a bit better accuracy

Call the service number and tell them what happened and what time, it happened to me 3 times when I first got my truck, it was a faulty seat sensor, basically seeing that I got out of the seat and they replaced the part or parts hasn't happened to me in the past 7 months.

Hit the hazard lights when it happens it will help service find it in the logs

If you turn hazards on and off when it happens it should mark the log for them to better isolate what was happening.

No need for that anymore... Just long-press your username.
