Vehicle Nannies are ANNOYING in new vehicles

Sorry, my air quotes didn't come across so great. YOU can go into the settings in the truck's SYNC screen and find an option that keeps it off for 6 months. When the 6 months is up, SYNC asks if you want to continue with it off.

Settings > Vehicle > Rear Occupant Alert and select Off

Thanks for the info.
I don't have back seats. Does it turn off the warning for all seats?

Only rear seats, I have an XL SuperCab with the small jump seats, but I lay a bed over it for the dog.

A few years ago I "test drove" a new Tiguan SEL Premium R-line. Fanciest of the fancy. I needed to run home for lunch, and the sales guy was like take it for a spin, let me know what you think. Ok...pull my arm why don't you lol.

Man, halfway through the drive there was a pretty big branch in the middle of the road, like some tree trimmers just finished a job and were on their way to the mulch site and lost some of their load. Anyway, so I go and do the NORMAL thing any competent driver would, steer to avoid it. What does the stupid SUV do? Corrects my steering to center because it thought I was asleep or something. Freaked me out. I'm trying not to damage or scratch this $40k+ vehicle and it says...NOPE. And of course, being a new vehicle I didn't know how to turn all that crap off yet. So I just delt with it till I got back.

I got back to work from my errand, tossed the keys to the sales guy. And he was like "Well, whadya think?"

I was like

That lane correction thing was how I experienced in the F150 loaner except I had the steering feature turned off, so it seems it is always there.

Kinda like with my Ranger, even with advanced traction off, it still applied brake on me when I started letting off the throttle in a wet road INTENTIONAL "drift"
