Connected Safety
Connected Safety communicates information
between your own car and other vehicles via
11
the Internet . The function is intended to
make a driver aware that there may be a
potentially dangerous traffic situation further
ahead on the same road.
The Connected Safety function can inform the
driver whether another vehicle further ahead
on the same road has activated its hazard
warning flashers or detected slippery driving
conditions. Information about slippery driving
conditions is also given if your own car detects
slippery surfaces.
Connected Safety can help the driver with the
following:
Alarm on hazard warning flashers
•
Alarm on slippery driving conditions
•
If slippery driving conditions are detected by
your own car - in addition to you the driver -
drivers in other vehicles will also be informed
about this via the Internet.
In vehicles with head-up display, the warning
symbols for Connected Safety are also shown
there.
10 Not available on all markets.
11 Data is transferred (data traffic) when using the Internet, and this may involve a cost.
NOTE
Connected Safety communication
between vehicles only works for the vehi-
cles equipped with the function and have it
activated.
Alarm on hazard warning flashers
If your own car's hazard warning flashers are
activated, information about this can be sent
to vehicles approaching your own car's posi-
tion.
When your own car is
approaching a vehicle with
flashing hazard warning
flashers, this symbol is
shown on the instrument
panel.
When your own car is close to a vehicle with
flashing hazard warning flashers, the symbol
doubles in size.
Alarm on slippery driving conditions
If your own car detects a deterioration in fric-
tion between tyres and road surface, the infor-
mation is sent to the vehicles approaching the
position of your own car.
DRIVER SUPPORT
If an ice alert is triggered, this
symbol is displayed on the
instrument panel when a
vehicle approaches the slip-
pery road section, both in
your own car and in other
vehicles that have received
the information via Connected Safety.
When the approaching vehicle is close to the
slippery section of road, the symbol doubles in
size on the vehicle's instrument panel.
