Rivian Software Update 2026.31.40

Navigation Improvements

We improved Navigation by adding the following:

• Google Maps and Waze user reports on police presence and speed cameras along your route.
• Mobile live trips that you or others who are drivers on the same vehicle can update before you get in the car and as you drive.

Auto-Tilting of Side Mirrors in Reverse

The side mirrors automatically tilt downward when you shift into R (Reverse), offering a clearer view of the curb and rear tires, and they automatically return to their standard position when you shift out of R (Reverse). To enable auto-tilting, go to Settings > Mirrors and steering wheel on the center display and turn on Side mirror auto-tilting.

Dual Glove Box Locks

We added locking controls to the dual glove boxes. To automatically lock the dual glove boxes, close both glove boxes, lock the vehicle, and take your keys with you. To manually lock or unlock one or both of the dual glove boxes, use quick controls or go to Settings > Access > Storage.

Additional Improvements

• Climate
  • Added a driver focus vent control to redirect the front vents towards the driver. Choose the passenger-side control to turn driver focus mode on or off, or choose the driver-side control to turn both front vents on or off.
  • Improved the accuracy of the displayed cabin temperature in Pet Comfort on the center display.
  • Improved occupant comfort calibrations and system robustness in various environmental scenarios.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the driver seat to default to heat instead of vent when it was over 100°F (38°C) outside.
• Energy app
  • Updated trip data on the driver display to show total energy as consumption minus regeneration (energy gained from regenerative braking).
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Energy app and related drive widgets to report incorrect overnight session durations.
• Vehicle access
  • Improved digital key pairing so a subsequent attempt can succeed even if the first pairing fails.
  • Fixed a rare issue that allowed a vehicle to lock with a digital key left inside the cabin, such as during loading or unloading.
• Phone and messaging
  • Improved the reliability of Contacts. The vehicle shows recently synced contacts while your phone reconnects, and it tries to download contacts again instead of waiting for Bluetooth to restart.
  • Fixed an issue that caused incoming phone message notifications to be missed.
• Media
  • Fixed an issue that caused audio to lag during video playback over Bluetooth.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Media to auto-resume correctly on unlock and approach, but pause again seconds later after the driver entered the vehicle and closed the door.

Maintenance

• Added a new rear wiper service mode for cleaning the rear wiper area or replacing the wiper blade. To move the wiper out of its park position, go to Settings > Maintenance > Vehicle service and enable Rear wiper service.
• Increased the default tire rotation reminder interval from 7,500 mi (12,070 km) to 9,000 mi (14,484 km).
• Refined traction control calibration for more consistent behavior on low-grip surfaces.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Gear Guard security system from recording video after the vehicle woke from sleep. (Thanks, imparkerburton, for the report.)
