Connected Safety
The function can notify the driver if another vehicle further down the road has activated its hazard warning flashers or detected slippery road conditions. Information of slippery road surface is transmitted if your own vehicle detects a slippery road surface.
- Hazard warning flashers alert
- Slippery road alerts
Connected Safety communication between vehicles only works for vehicles that are equipped with the function. Connected Safety also needs to be actively accepted via Polestar privacy.
Hazard warning flashers alert
If the hazard warning flashers are activated on your own vehicle, information about this can be sent to vehicles approaching your own vehicle's position.
When your own vehicle approaches a vehicle with its hazard warning flashers on, this symbol will appear in the instrument panel.
Slippery road alerts
If your own vehicle detects reduced friction between the tires and the road, this symbol will be shown in the instrument panel. This information can then be forwarded to vehicles approaching your own vehicle's location.
If your own vehicle receives information about slippery conditions from another vehicle, this symbol will be shown in the instrument panel.
