Top of driving status display pausing blue

[Squidders]

Hello,

Did my first long journey in my Model 3 yesterday - a great experience.

A couple of times I noticed the top area of the Driving Status display pulsing blue for a few seconds. I can't see anything in the manual about what that indicates.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve

I beleive if for remind you to keep your hands on the steering wheel,
then you get a warning request to prees the steering wheel,
and if you don't do anything or wait too long... you go to jail.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense.

And I thought I was holding the steering wheel

The steering wheel senses your hands by the torque applied to it, not by squeezing the rim of the wheel. So, if you apply equal downward pressure in both hands, the wheel, itself, may not feel any torque at all, so a warning blue light may flash to remind you.
