    I just had my 1st road trip with my new Prius v which has dynamic cruise control. I noticed that everytime a car merges into my lane and is picked up by the radar, a pop-up screen appears up on the MID (confirming a car is detected). If that car speeds up and is far enough and no longer detected, again a pop-up appears.

    Is there a way to deactivate those annoying pop-ups?

    Nope. I've been trying for the last 5 years. Just live with it.

    When they pop up just press the "display" button on the steering wheel. It is annoying but I am now used to just hitting the button when it occurs.

    I just checked in the car, and the only pop-ups we can disable are the ones related to incoming calls, temperature controls and turn by turn instructions during navigation. :(

    I guess I'll get used to it.

    Thanks everyone! :)

    It's there so that you know when the status has changed (i.e. whether it lost connection with the car in front or whether it has gained radar lock with a car in front).

    I understand its utility. I just wished there was a way of disabling it like I did with all the other pop-ups!
