Multi-factor Drive

• Only a vehicle owner can enable or disable Multi-factor Drive. The setting applies to all drivers and keys associated with the vehicle.
• When Multi-factor Drive is enabled, a driver won't be able to drive the vehicle using the key fob or key card without authentication.
• To approve a drive, the driver must have a Rivian account associated with the key and the key must be paired with the vehicle.
• As a backup option, the driver can also access a time-based passcode on their smartphone. Go to Security and access and choose View time-based passcode.
• To use Multi-factor Drive, all drivers must have the Rivian mobile app version 3.1 or later installed on their smartphone.

New Rivian Energy App

• Projected range impact: Increase your understanding of your actual energy consumption versus what's expected while driving and while in P (Park). You can gain insight into how your driving behavior affects your range and get useful driving tips. You can also view your parked energy usage on the Rivian mobile app.
• Usage: Dive deep into your energy usage over selectable timeframes.
• Session details: View a comprehensive distribution of systems in your vehicle that are consuming energy, including Gear Guard, outlets, and climate.

• Graph: Visualize your active or latest charging session with an interactive graph.
• Target level for charging stops: When using navigation for a trip that includes a charging stop, now it's easy to see the recommended charge target for your trip from the vehicle or the Rivian mobile app. Simply start your charge, and the app will calculate and notify you (both in the vehicle and on the Rivian mobile app) when you've reached the ideal charge level for your trip.
• On-demand battery preconditioning: Precondition your battery on demand for fast charging. The system heats or cools the battery to the optimal temperature for fast charging.
