Even when your vehicle is not connected to the Internet, you will still be notified if the system in your own vehicle detects slippery road conditions. For Connected Safety to function at full capacity, your vehicle needs to be connected to the Internet.
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. You will also be notified if your own vehicle detects slippery road conditions.
Connected Safety can assist the driver with the following:
- Hazard warning flashers alert
- Slippery road alerts
Connected Safety communication between vehicles only works for vehicles that are equipped with the function and have it activated. Connected Safety also needs to be accepted via Polestar privacy.
Hazard warning flashers alert
If your vehicle’s hazard warning flashers are activated, information on this can be sent to other vehicles approaching your location.
When your vehicle approaches a vehicle with its hazard warning flashers on, this symbol will appear in the instrument panel.
Slippery road alerts
If your 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 vehicle’s location.
If your vehicle receives information about slippery conditions from another vehicle, this symbol will be shown in the instrument panel.
- The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
- The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
- Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance to other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.
Connected Safety limitations
This may be the case if:
- No or insufficient Internet connection.
- The maneuvers (steering wheel movements, acceleration or braking) made by the vehicles on slippery surfaces are too weak for friction between the tires and road to be detected.
- Vehicles that have detected slippery road conditions or activated hazard warning flashers have not activated the function.
- Vehicles that have detected slippery road conditions or activated hazard warning flashers are not equipped with the function.
- Insufficient GPS/satellite navigation may prevent warnings.
- Slippery road conditions were detected or hazard warning flashers were activated on a road that is not registered in the Polestar database.
- Connected Safety is not developed on all markets and does not cover all areas. Polestar Customer Support has information on covered areas.
- In certain situations, the function may give false warnings of slippery road conditions.
- The function cannot always detect other vehicles with activated hazard warning factors or detect all stretches of road with slippery conditions.
