Limitations of Connected Safety
Information about vehicles with activated
hazard warning flashers or which have
detected slippery driving conditions is not
always communicated between all vehicles
within the same area.
This can be because for example:
Poor or no contact with the Internet.
•
Vehicles on slippery surfaces make
•
manoeuvres that are too weak for friction
between tyres and road surface to be
detectable, e.g. steering wheel movement,
acceleration or braking.
Vehicles that have detected slippery surfa-
•
ces, or have activated their hazard warn-
ing flashers, do not have the function acti-
vated.
Vehicles that have detected slippery surfa-
•
ces, or have activated their hazard warn-
ing flashers, are not equipped with the
function.
There may be no warning due to missing
•
or defective global positioning/satellite
navigation.
Detection of slippery surfaces or activation
•
of hazard warning flashers has taken place
on a minor road which is missing in Volvo
Cars database.
Connected Safety is not available in all
•
markets and does not cover all areas - a
retailer for Volvo has information on cur-
rent areas.
WARNING
In certain situations, the function may
•
give incorrect warnings for slippery
driving conditions.
The function cannot always detect
•
other vehicles with activated hazard
warning flashers or detect all sections
of road with slippery surfaces.

driver to notice that the time interval to the

the car to be equipped with a head-up dis-
play* to be able to display Distance Warning.

head-up display.
In cars equipped with head-up display, a sym-
bol is shown on the windscreen for as long as
the time interval to the vehicle ahead is shorter
than the preset value. However, this assumes
that the Show Driver Support

system.
