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.
- 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.
