Hands on wheel, eyes on road, peripheral vision keeping an eye on blue flashing (and you must clear it). Like this:

Vehicle?
2021 Model Y. Over 20K miles. Got beta in July 2022, and gotten 3 strikes since then. I’ll tell you the circumstances of my most recent and 4th strike, yesterday, before I found a wi-fi signal over which to update:
Multi lane highway, I am coming up on a slow vehicle, my vehicle slows down and doesn’t yet signal to change lanes, so I turn to look over my left shoulder for traffic. (Beta has, at times, been both overly eager to change lanes, and at others, negligent to offer to change lanes.) Fast moving vehicles coming, so I am watching between them, and the vehicle and road in front of me to time the moment I may safely pass. Both my hands were on the steering wheel, hoping the car would manage the maneuver. Instead, while looking back, I heard the disengagement alarm. There was also, as I recall, a hands-on defeat device message onscreen, which I had been getting, though they seem to have been cleared up in todays update.
All this to say, I do not believe I was being inattentive in this instance. I very often do pick up the initial signal in my peripheral vision.
No one has, however, responded to my question regarding Tesla’s release note referring to “several audio and visual warnings” before disengagement. Can these audio warnings be activated? I am not receiving them.
