When I give a command to Siri while in the car, an icon of a car comes on the screen, and there is no response. I’m guessing this is linked to using a phone while driving, but it still doesn’t respond if I’m parked, or sitting in the car in my garage. I frequently had Siri send text messages, or dial a contact, and can’t do those thing anymore. Any ideas? Can it be turned off?
iPhone 11, iOS 13

'What to expect when Do Not Disturb While Driving is on
Here's what to expect when Do Not Disturb While Driving is turned on. You cancustomize many of these featuresin Settings.
- Your iPhone stays silent and the screen stays dark. If someone sends you a message, they receive an automatic reply letting them know that you're driving. If the message is important, the sender can type the word "urgent" to make sure that you receive a notification. Then you can pull over to read their important message or ask Siri to read it to you.
- iPhone delivers some notifications, such as emergency alerts, timers, and alarms.
- Phone calls are delivered using the same conditions as standard Do Not Disturb: You can allow calls only from your Favorites, and you can allow calls to come through if the same person calls twice in a row.If your iPhone connects to your car via Bluetooth, calls will come through as usual, and you can use the buttons, microphones, and speakers in your car to take your call.
- If youuse Mapsto navigate, your iPhone still shows lock-screen navigation help and gives turn-by-turn instructions.
- If you're a passenger and you try to use your iPhone while the feature is active, you must tap I'm Not Driving to turn it off.'

- iPhone 8 - 2019 Honda Pilot Siri stopped workingI have an iPhone 8 and a 2019 Honda Pilot. I cannot make an "eyes free" phone call like I have since May when I got the car, which uses Siri. I hit the talk button on the steering wheel, and say call home (for example), Siri replies with "Hmmm, Let me see". Then after a pause, it says "I can't do that right now, try later". The issue started happening right after the iOS 13 update, which was around the same time Honda did a software update to fix a recall. I'm sure both companies will blame each other. 2743
- Siri problems with iOS 16Hi everyone,I recently updated to iOS 16 on my iPhone 12 mini. So far, so good and enjoying the new features. A problem today with Siri, however. I was driving in a vehicle that doesn't have Apple CarPlay. No problem, handsfree Siri works well, or at least it did with iOS 15. When I summon Siri either with a voice command or the side button, I can't get it to work. I've been looking online and in my Settings for my iPhone without any luck. Thanks in advance,Ryan 9223
