GLE Voice Warning
So my son and I have kind of laughed (although I'm sure it's serious) when out of nowhere (twice) , we were driving on the highway and the MB blurted out "Warning, Danger ahead" That's it, nothing else. It was kind of a Danger Will Robinson moment if you're old enough to remember. Once it came before a traffic ahead warning. Anyone else get this warning. I looked in the manual and couldn't find it. Kind of freaky!

It is most definitely an eye opening warning. I had to ask my son if I had heard it correctly, he was laughing since neither of us could figure out where the danger was (or what it was) Incoming asteroid perhaps??

I primarily use Waze and Google maps and this danger announcement still comes up. I personally think it's great.
Any advance warning about impending doom so that I can live life to the fullest is great, a Thelma and Louise moment before leaping into the Grand Canyon. 😜

I have received this voice warning a few times, but never found any danger. I have also received "Traffic event ahead" warning a couple of times. Also, with no event noted.

I believe this is car to x feature, and an outside source reported an issue ahead of you. You don't even need to be on the navigation screen to hear it. I heard it a few times while using Waze on Android Auto and heard that warning so it appears to be running constantly on the background.

I’ve heard it numerous times on my 2021 GLE, however, I just got a 2024 GLE and have not heard it. It can be startling, it did not depend on the navigation system being on. Evidently, the system is seeing something and reading it incorrectly. If I was traveling on the highway and there was an incline in conjunction with an overpass it may interpret the overpass as an obstacle in my path. That is part of the reason I was concerned about getting the driver assistance package, it increases the likelihood of more errors, the system getting fooled. Undoubtedly, there are many advantages to that package as well.
