It seems there is a little bit of a disconnect between what the manual says and what actually happens in the vehicle… I guess I should go for a test drive and decide if I'm going to buy new or pre-2020.

The LDA is only a beep and can be turned off via a button on the steering wheel. Luckily it stays off. When it's active, it doesn't interfere with the steering, so it's more of a nag than a nanny. And you can tell the nag to shut up.
Unfortunately the TSS (real nanny) needs to be turned off each time the car starts. It's a series of menu commands.
I have had this come one once where some @&$*$ brake checked me. Sorry no sound. I keep it off so people don't hear me cussing at people like this.

I read the situation long before the TSS activated. When it came on and just beeped at me. Probably because I was already hard on the brakes. At the point the TSS came on it was more startling than the guy in front of me.
Personally, when I drive I focus on the task at hand and find all the beeps and lights distracting. That's just me though.
