Volvo XC90: Driver support / Connected Safety limitations
Information on vehicles with activated hazard warning flashers or which have
detected slippery road conditions is not always communicated between all vehicles
in the affected area.
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 Volvo Cars database.
- Connected Safety is not developed on all markets and does not cover all
areas. Consult a Volvo retailer for more information on covered areas.
WARNING
- 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.
For Connected Safety to be able to share information about road conditions
with other drivers, the function must be activated. If you do not wish to share
information, the function can be deactivated...
(Option/accessory)
The Road Sign Information (RSI1) function can help the driver observe
speed-related road signs.

avoid a collision with crossing traffic.

On slippery roads when Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is actively operating.
