Is there a way to turn off the car icon (driving mode) on an iPhone with IOS 16.4 (there is no "driving mode" option anymore on ios 16.4)? Because of that, I cannot access Siri e.g. to help me text or read text while I am driving. Thanks.

Go to Settings/Focus. If there is a Driving focus tap on it and you can remove it.
If there isn’t, then there is either a parental restriction on your phone or you have a company or school email address or MDM (Mobile Device Management) profile on your phone that enables the driving focus.
You should not be accessing Siri, you should not be texting or reading texts while driving, or making phone calls anyway. It’s called “distracted driving”, and it results in crashes.
Tap Settings
Tap Focus
What do you see?
I had the opposite challenge. I wanted to turn ON Driving Focus, but it's not under the Focus Settings in iOS 16.4.1(a).
You have to tap the "+" sign in the upper right corner to get the Driving Focus setup/menu.
Hope this helps.
After hitting the "+" sign at the upper right corner, I now can see the Driving focus. Thanks very much.
There is no parental restriction on my phone, and I do not have a company or school email
address or MDM (Mobile Device Management) on my phone profile, any other suggestions? Please advise, thanks.
Thanks, @BuffaloCreek. Driving is installed by default; If it isn’t there it was deleted at some time in the past.
I agree you shouldn't be using your phone while driving. However, Driving Focus randomly activates when I am walking around the house or yard during work calls which is extremely frustrating.
