Do you _have_ to press ok or does it go away after a while?

  It goes away on my Subaru (admittedly an older 2018) but it does obscure the rear camera. So if I want to start the car and back up immediately after, there's a delay. It's not painful, but I have gotten into the habit of using the mirrors instead, and the camera + sensor is very useful so I should not be doing that.

    What an annoying "feature". Could that be the same thing as with other American idiosyncrasies, e.g. caution hot coffee is hot, objects in mirror might be closer than they appear, etc due to people being too litigation happy?

      Please don't repeat stories without knowing the basis. What you're calling "hot coffee is hot" should be called "coffee stored at unnaturally high temperatures which cause 3rd degree burns is hot". Normal coffee does not lead to those burns. McDonalds put in a lot of effort, and probably money, to make it seem like "hurr durr it was just a dumb American being dumb". It's not that. The woman also didn't sue to become rich, only to cover her medical costs.

        The story itself is quite tragic, and indeed everything you say is true. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the warning label “CAUTION: Contents hot” on a paper cup is indeed pretty useless and likely exists as a result of this lawsuit — not because it will actually keep anyone from burning themselves (for that goal, you’d want it to say some variant of “our coffee is much hotter than what you make at home”), but because a bunch of lawyers thought it would make for an easier defense next time. That’s the root cause right there.

    On my Subaru (2019), as soon as I shift into reverse, the backup camera supersedes everything, including the silly notice. (The notice will also disappear if I ignore it.)
