I'd call it medium sensitivity. I can look to the mirrors, or the side without it triggering. The only times it has triggered for me is when I put a bottle up to my mouth to drink. Sometimes the bottle blocks my eyes a little. As far as I know, there is no way to adjust or turn off the eye monitoring.
* Can you use the ACC without having any eye/facial recognition?
I think the eye recognition is always on, regardless of whether you use ACC or DAPP. One of its purposes is to recognize a disabled driver and stop the car, so whether you use ACC or not, doesn't matter.
A driver could still become disabled, without using ACC and/or DAPP.
* Can you deactivate the changing lanes by head glance?
According to the user manual on page 239, "Lane Guiding with Navigation" can be turned off. Keep in mind, that if you leave it on, it will only suggest lane changes if you have a destination set in the nav system, and you are on a major highway. Otherwise, it will only monitor your eyes for lane changes if you have a destination set and you initiate the lane change with your turn signal while ACC or DAPP is active. I find the feature to work very well and like using it. Even on the freeway, when it suggests a lane change, I simply don't look in my mirror and it will not change lanes. The prompt disappears after about 3 seconds if I ignore it. Take a look at the "Lane change with active guidance" section of the pdf manual starting on page 238 for more info on that.

Thanks so much SkyKing for your detailed thoroughness. Super helpful. A few clarification question:
1) With Eyes monitoring continuously on, does it give you false negatives alerts when wearing polarized sunglasses?
2) And did you mentioned if you can deactivate the Highway Assistant and just use the ACC?
3) Lastly, I forgot to ask, but does the Parking Assistance Plus have semi-autonomous parking where the car automatically steers into the parking spot, while you negotiate the gas/brake? I know I i4 has that feature, but it didn’t mention it in the i5. I think it has Remote Park with your phone instead?
