    That override system would be awesome. For a simpler solution they should just report the life of the 12V battery so this guy could’ve known it was bad and gotten it replaced. Although five years is a decent lifespan for that battery. I know I’m planning on just going ahead and replacing mine around then as well because historically that’s when they’ve died in my other cars

      The car is actually pretty pushy about letting you know if it thinks the battery is dying. It’s obviously not a perfect system, but some percentage of these stories are people who definitely ignored warnings for weeks.
