Describe the bug or enhancement
Unfortunately, my car is an older Volkswagen with an APA-BS steering rack that hasn't been hacked yet, so the 6-minute timer still disrupts my drive. While openpilot manages both lateral and longitudinal control, the car issues visual and audio alerts the moment it hits the time limit—simultaneously slowing down and cutting power steering. After reviewing the documentation and codebase with AI assistance, I believe the best balance of safety and convenience is to trigger warning alerts 5 to 6 seconds before the limit. This gives the driver enough time to take over or make a manual steering input to reset the timer.
