    First drive when snowing tonight. The front radar and parking sensors were covered with snow, apparently, causing the dash to alternately switch from one system warning to the other.

    The warnings can't seem to be turned off-they keep coming back, distractingly so. These aren't just little flashing lights, this is the big-screen text treatment.

    Sure, you can turn off the systems via the buttons on the steering wheel, but let's just say that doing so at night, with falling snow while wearing bifocal glasses might not have been the best choice.

    I've decided to just live with it if it happens again.

    I feel that it should be possible to push a button to acknowledge the warnings and cancel the warnings, at least until the next time the car is started.

    My 2021 Venza lets me do exactly that when going through the car wash. Silence all the alarms with the push of the OK button on the steering wheel.
