Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Bluffton. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
What the Driver Attention Monitor settings are
Honda’s 2025 CR-V owner’s manual lists three settings for the Driver Attention Monitor: Tactile and Audible Alert, Tactile Alert, and OFF. The manual describes the setting as changing how the driver attention monitor behaves, and it lists OFF as one of the choices (Honda Owners Manual, Customized Features, CR-V 2025).
Knowing which settings your car offers is the first step. A driver who wants the alert on but quieter can pick Tactile Alert, which uses steering-wheel vibration only. A driver who wants no alerts at all can pick OFF.
Check your model and year before you change it
Menu names change between Honda models and years, so start by confirming which model you own. The steps below assume the vehicle is on, stopped, and in Park.
The 2025 Civic owner’s manual lists these conditions before the setting can be changed:
1. Power mode must be in ON.
2. The vehicle must be at a complete stop.
3. The shift position must be in P.
4. Press the home button, then select the screen by rolling the left selector wheel, and press it.
Depending on your Honda’s year and model, the menu may be slightly different.
